Workshop

The European H2020 projects "EMOTIVE: Storytelling for Cultural heritage" and "CrossCult: Empowering reuse of digital cultural heritage in context-aware crosscuts of European history" organise a EU projects workshop in order to explore possible collaborations between EU funded projects relevant to Cultural Heritage. In particular, we will explore possibilities for exchanging tools, technologies, know-how, methods and best practices, in order to significantly improve our efficiency and better manage resources.

Issues to be discussed fall under these three broad categories:

·       Humanities (e.g. content creation, experience evaluation and related methodologies & techniques, user engagement (pre/post/re -visit))

·       Technology (e.g. personalisation, onsite/offsite tools and technologies, authoring tools, new forms/enhanced digitization)

·       Dissemination / Exploitation (e.g. business plans/IPR suggestions, living labs, common strategies, publications, advertising our projects and attract more users -e.g. adver games)

The workshop is scheduled for Monday May 14th, 2018 at the premises of the University of West Attica, in Athens.

Here are some of the workshop meeting notes:

Business & Dissemination

• Some projects provide as open source all technology developed to promote sharing and dissemination
• Other projects try to identify what is free from IPR and thus can be shared
• Long talks with university lawyers to come to an agreement
• Strong consortium agreements are needed that bound the different partners and promote exploitation
• ...

Technical

• Game-based profilers
• personality trait profiling through pop psychology quiz
• Tracking the visitor during the visit
• There are efforts for 3D capture both for sites and objects within some of the projects, including DigiArt and EMOTIVE
• Various conceptualizations of tools promoting visitor engagement: Gifting, Appropriation, Collaboration
• ...

Humanities

• Peer to peer (another visitor is asked to evaluate the experience of another visitor).
• Onsite data collection to resemble the real experience.
• Need of a holistic approach that does not only measure technology effects.
• Practical problems with longitudinal studies.
• Need to analyse data from social media during and after the visits. Need new methods.
• Quantitative data like system logs can be used a complementary approaches and to inform the building of new tools.
• ...
