This paper focuses on the recent trends in digital implementation technology and its relationship with cultural heritage restoration. Cultural heritage consists of tangible and intangible elements, including monuments and folklore cultural assets. The utilization of digital restoration and visualization techniques offers boundless possibilities beyond mere technical reproduction, shedding new light on the historical characteristics and values of humanity. Such research is regarded as an essential output that captures the profound social, cultural, and economic significance of cultural heritage. Digital restoration, reflecting Jean Baudrillard's concept of 'Simulacra,' serves as a crucial tool to reinterpret past civilizations based on historical evidence for the public. Through this process, profound insights can be gained from various fields such as society, economy, art, religion, and lifestyle. This approach signifies that the digital restoration transcends its mere technical aspect and helps in understanding its academic significance. KCI Citation Count: 0
