Imagine if anyone could build a video game without needing to know a single line of code. This project creates a digital toolkit that lets people from different fields, like fashion or art, team up to design games together. It's like a shared digital canvas where the focus is on the story and the message rather than the complex programming.
Game creation is currently locked behind high technical barriers, preventing non-coders in the cultural and fashion sectors from using gaming for innovation and engagement.
An open-source co-creation platform with text and visual interfaces and a 4-phase Experience Co-Creation Methodology (XCM).
If you are a museum dealing with low visitor engagement — this project developed a co-creation platform that allows you to build interactive games to showcase exhibits without needing a dedicated software team.
If you are a fashion brand dealing with the need for digital storytelling — this project developed a tool that lets your designers create virtual reality experiences to showcase sustainable collections.
If you are a studio dealing with the high cost of specialized technical staff — this project developed an Experience Co-Creation Methodology (XCM) that simplifies the design process into four iterative phases.
Based on available project data, the platform is being developed as open-source, implying it will be freely accessible rather than sold as a licensed product.
The project is currently testing the platform through multi-sector pilots in 3 countries (Greece, Italy, and Estonia) to evaluate its scalability across different creative industries.
The project explicitly aims to create an open-source platform, though specific licensing agreements for the 8 deliverables are not detailed in the provided text.
Based on available project data, the platform provides text-based and visual interfaces to empower non-experts, but specific API or integration details with commercial engines are not listed.
The project runs from 2024-02-01 to 2027-01-31, with an early version of the platform already released within the first 15 months.
The consortium is well-balanced for a digital transition project, featuring 12 partners across 8 countries. With an industry ratio of 42% (including 5 industry partners and 2 SMEs), there is strong commercial representation to ensure the tool meets market needs, while the inclusion of 4 'Other' organizations and 1 university provides the necessary academic and social research backing.
