ABSTRACT

This study examines the potential of extended reality (XR) for the promotion and education of national defense policies. It first diagnoses the current state and problems of Korea's defense public relations (PR) policy in its historical and institutional context, and establishes a theoretical basis drawing on PR, communication, learning, and sociological theories. Using policy analysis of government, comparative analysis of domestic and foreign cases and of traditional versus XR-based PR, and discourse analysis, the study finds that XR can enhance policy comprehension and participation through immersion and interactivity, whereas domestic cases remain focused on training and one-off exhibitions without systematic evaluation. Discourse analysis also reveals a tension between efficiency-oriented narratives and concerns over the militarization of cultural spaces. Based on these findings, the study proposes an eight-stage content design framework, four XR-based PR strategies (VR pavilions, participatory AR applications, metaverse experiences, and immersive simulations), guidelines for university course projects with an empirical research design, and policy recommendations on institutional support, industrial promotion, and interdisciplinary cooperation.
