EUreka3D-XR

EUreka3D-XR is here! ?? If you have been following us, this is the continuation project of #EUreka3D to develop innovative #XR applications for Cultural Heritage. The project will expand services already tested in the EUreka3D project, and will focus on transforming cultural contents into compelling narratives and extended reality scenarios. Stay tuned and follow the next steps on: ??? Open source digital 3D and XR tools?to support innovative reuse and engagement with cultural 3D resources. ??? Three XR scenarios: the virtual visualisation of the middle-ages walls of Girona, the XR narrative in the Bibracte archaeological site, and the creation of a new life of Saing Neophytos Englystra in Cyprus. ?? A full programme of capacity building and knowledge sharing to support the CH sector. ?? www.eureka3d-xr.eu ??

EUreka3D-XR is about to kick off! ?? It is the continuation project of EUreka3D, funded by the Digital Europe Programme of the European Union. The first public event is the hybrid workshop to present the project and the three use cases that make use of the project’s tool to create XR experiences in France, Spain and Cyprus. ?? Next 27th February at 11.00 – 12.30h CET in Pisa and online ?? Registrations are open: https://lnkd.in/d4QGcNKn

???Making the Europeana Data Model a better fit for documentation of 3d objects ???We are excited to announce the publication of a new article compiled by the 3D working group led by the Europeana Initiative. Accompanying the efforts to enhance the production, (re-)use and publication of 3D digital assets in Europeana and the common European data sp ace for cultural heritage (#DS4CH), a team of experts involved in leading 3D digitisation projects such as #5Dculture and EUreka3D has teamed up and now published their common findings. ???The report examines how the Europeana Data Model (EDM) can be adapted to better support the documentation, sharing, and reuse of 3D cultural heritage objects. As 3D digitisation becomes increasingly vital for cultural heritage preservation and innovation, the EDM needs to evolve to accommodate richer metadata, paradata, and more complex digital representations. ????Authors: Antoine Isaac (Europeana), Kate Fernie (CARARE), Valentina Bachi (#Photoconsortium), Eleftheria Tsoupra (Europeana), Marco Medici (Inception), Henk Alkemade (CARARE), Sander Münster (Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Time Machine Organisation), Valentine Charles (Europeana) and Lianne Heslinga (CARARE). ???Key highlights: ??Enhancing Metadata for 3D Models: The report identifies areas where EDM can be extended to represent 3D models, Digital Twins, and paradata more effectively, ensuring enriched documentation for future reuse. ???Paradata as a Priority: Paradata – details about the creation and context of 3D models – is emphasized as essential for ensuring transparency and authenticity. ???Collaboration for High-Quality Data: Recommendations include building capacity across cultural heritage institutions to produce and share high-quality 3D content with robust metadata. ???More information: https://lnkd.in/d4gxMnVr

?? ?? The #EUreka3D Data Hub is one of the main outcomes of the project. It offers solutions for data, metadata and paradata management and storage, and for delivering 3D collections to users. This updated workflow map is a good way to get a visual idea of how it works. ??

Great news for #OpenScience and #CulturalHeritage! ??? EOSC Beyond and EUreka3D have signed an MoU to advance interoperability, data sharing, and innovation in #EOSC. EUreka3D supports cultural heritage institutions with 3D digitisation, storage, and reuse, enabling innovative XR scenarios for research and citizen engagement. EOSC Beyond will enhance these efforts via the Innovation Sandbox to facilitate integration with the broader EOSC landscape. Diego Scardaci, EGI Foundation, EOSC Beyond Project Director: “The collaboration between EOSC Beyond and EUreka3D will strengthen the EOSC/Data Spaces connection, fostering interoperability and the sharing of solutions for common problems.” Learn more: https://go.egi.eu/fSKTJ

Last December #EUreka3D Consortium celebrated the last project plenary: last steps of the project and already diving into the continuation project EUreka3D-XR (starting Februrary 2025)! ?? On Friday 13 December the #EUreka3D Final Conference took place in Girona: a hybrid public conference by project partners and invited contributors, focused on sharing the project outcomes and main topics such as the methodology for 3D digitisation, the EUreka3D Data Hub, authenticity and standardisation for 3D, and the project’s four use cases. ?? If you missed the conference – presentations and recordings are available! https://lnkd.in/dtjYPDza ??
