Projects about Digital Cultural heritage

An EU-funded project called Mingei is exploring the possibilities of representing and making accessible both tangible and intangible aspects of craft as cultural heritage. In this week's episode of Futuris, Euronews finds out more about this project and how technology is helping to engage the younger generation with heritage crafts of the past - on where they originated from and how things were created years ago.

The Innovation Actions selected under this call (DT-Transformations-12-2018-2020) addressed the curation and preservation of digital assets. The action called for new technologies and methods that enable, among others, richer experiences, storytelling and the linking of physically separated objects and sites, and tangible and intangible heritage.

Virtual reality glasses and newly developed software help directors, actors, stage designers and other participants to plan the scenes of a theatre or film production realistically in advance. The technology developed under the direction of the University of Bremen in the "first.stage" project is also useful for animation studios.

VI-SEEM, an EU-funded project, creates the necessary infrastructure and user training to enable local scientific communities to conduct groundbreaking cross-border research spanning many areas.

A breakthrough in handwritten text recognition, layout analysis and keyword spotting has been made. A service platform helps reveal European and international cultural heritage and search for centuries-old documents.

The project will develop tools and techniques aimed at the creative industries to make their contents 'smarter' and to help re-use of existing digital assets for future productions.

ReTV is an EU funded project providing novel solutions for broadcasters and their content partners to publish on multiple media channels with the effort of one.

MeMAD provides novel methods for efficient re-use and re-purpose of multilingual audiovisual content. These methodologies revolutionize video management and digital storytelling in broadcasting and media production.

The EU-funded project FotoInMotion will develop an innovative format that transforms a single photograph into a dynamic, high quality video for storytelling and branding.
