EUreka3D-XR is the continuation project of EUreka3D, funded by the Digital Europe Programme of the European Union, to develop innovative re-use scenarios and tools that enable the creation of extended reality (XR) applications, through expanding the features and services already developed and tested in the EUreka3D project.
- The official presentation of the project is held as hybrid event in Pisa and online on 27 February 2025. Registration is open.
The main research area of the new action in EUreka3D-XR is focused on transforming cultural contents such 2D, 3D, video, texts, maps, stories into compelling narratives and extended reality scenarios, and to deliver said scenarios to the common European data space for cultural heritage, to enrich the corpus of open access digital cultural contents online and to inspire others in experimenting new technologies.
EUreka3D-XR will deliver 5 open source digital tools that include online services and mobile apps to support innovative reuse and more compelling engagement with cultural 3D resources in various settings, collaboratively, with sustainable costs and efforts, leveraging XR and other advanced technologies applied to heritage collections.
EUreka3D-XR will handle three showcase scenarios, which will be available in the Data Space as contents and documentation:
- The virtual visualisation of the middle-ages walls of the city of Girona
- The XR narrative of excavations in process in the Bibracte archaeological site
- The creation of a new life of Saint Neophytos Englystra in Cyprus in the virtual space
EUreka3D-XR will also promote capacity building and the re-use of digitalised cultural heritage to professionals in the cultural sector and in other domains such as education, tourism research and preservation.
