INTANGIBLE HERITAGE TECHNOLOGIES DEVELOPMENT
Different sources of cultural content will be used initially for the implementation of the platform, such as thematic museums, folk tradition institutions, 3D reconstruction of activities, etc., in order to enrich the base of intangible cultural content of the platform. The database will then be enriched with additional intangible heritage content from online sources, social networks and open data, through targeted real-time information retrieval techniques.
This data, together with data from the reconstruction of spaces and folklore activities, will be used to train technological tools that will allow the creation of a temporally and culturally cohesive virtual reality environment. Such tools include image and video editing techniques for understanding cultural content activities (eg traditional dances, weaving techniques, etc.), as well as text creation and analysis tools for translating intangible content for use in other formats (e.g. 3D representation of songs, stories and myths).
The material will be organized based on its specific local, temporal and cultural parameters, so that the resulting product will be an organic total, which contains valid scientific data. The information that will result from the analysis will be visualized in 3D space and will be available to users in a virtual reality environment through a system of agile architecture and communication. Complete spatial compositions or individual spatial excerpts will be produced, resulting in each case in coherently designed sets with documented integration into the space, location and related cultural context.
The result will be the creation of a virtual reality environment that will allow the design of either a) relevant exhibitions for the preservation of intangible cultural heritage, but also b) new uses of the existing content.
Content of intangible cultural heritage
