The project seeks to build a sustainable and inclusive cultural-educational ecosystem with visitor and capacity management to promote Europe’s cultural heritage and arts. Combining human-centred design and the latest technologies, this project aims to achieve the following strategic objectives:
- enhance and support collaboration between cultural and creative industries (CCIs), and citizens to promote Europe’s culture, values, and interests,
- increase accessibility, awareness, and understanding of cultural heritage and arts within the EU and internationally by leveraging the creativity of arts and cultural heritage partners in Europe,
- preserve cultural heritage by preventing deterioration due to overcrowding and sustain valuable resources,
- enhance the audience experience through customized games, and routes by optimizing the number of people on the venue or site-based CCIs, ensuring social distancing between them in case of a pandemic, and
- increase economic and socio-cultural development.
The project is tasked with designing, developing, evaluating, and validating mainstream technologies for its ecosystem, utilizing the Internet of Things, cloud and mobile technologies, people counter sensors, and Artificial Intelligence.
The project includes five pilot sites across Europe, of which one is the Old Porvoo, and HH's Service Experience Laboratory LAB8 is responsible for conducting the project's Work Package 4 (WP4) and Work Package 6 (WP6).
