Abstract
Digital technologies are also playing a key role in the sustainability transformation; therefore, IMPULSE applies a comprehensive approach to tackling some of the major pressing gaps in the European cultural heritage digitization processes. In doing so, IMPULSE will develop ground-breaking, comprehensive solutions and methods for digitization processes and accessibility of digital cultural heritage collections, that will enable their innovative (re)use, solve challenges related to the interoperability of platforms and facilitate the availability of existing digitized cultural heritage content in novel contexts like the Metaverse while creating innovative standardization procedures and adapting legal frameworks to contemporary transformations and creative processes in and for education, arts, and CCSI. IMPULSE will foster solutions that extend the range, and consequently the quantity, of artifacts and objects, that can be displayed through using XR to recreate objects, making collections more virtually accessible in order to enable original uses of digital cultural heritage archives to create diverse, and layered narratives, for the wider demographic audience and underrepresented communities, empowering them to engage more deeply with the topics and themes on display, also through artistic (visual artists and dancers) performance through IMPULSE’s pilots and prototypes. IMPULSE will also enable connections and encounters among researchers, artists, cultural heritage practitioners, CCSIs, entrepreneurs, local institutions, companies, and other relevant stakeholders, through effective engagement such as IMPULSE Community of Practice, and appropriate tools and channels such as IMPULSE Hackathon and Acceleration & Mentoring Hub in order to facilitate effective dialogue, co-creation, and capacity building in immersive digitization.
