Imagine visiting a museum where you don't just look at art, but feel and experience it through multiple senses. This project builds a digital system that turns visual art into touch or sound, making culture accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. It's like creating a universal translator for art that lets anyone, anywhere, interact with heritage.
Cultural assets are often inaccessible to the 16% of the population with disabilities due to a lack of multisensory representations and interoperable digital archives.
A multisensory platform for remote co-creation and a low-latency audio architecture leveraging JackTrip software.
If you are a museum operator dealing with low accessibility for visitors with disabilities — this project developed a multisensory platform that enables engagement regardless of functional or sensory impairments. This expands your visitor base to the 16% of the world population living with disabilities.
If you are a digital content creator dealing with limited inclusive design tools — this project developed low-latency audio and multi-modal engagement solutions. This allows you to build remote co-creative tools for a broader public.
If you are a digital archive provider dealing with non-interoperable sensory data — this project developed formal specifications for inclusive archival preservation. This ensures multisensory cultural assets are stored and retrieved in a standardized way.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or commercial costs are not mentioned; the project is funded by an EU contribution of EUR 3,358,745.
The project involves 12 partners across 9 countries and includes 4 industry partners, suggesting a design intended for broad application across the creative and cultural industries.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, though it involves the use of JackTrip software developed by SU.
The project focuses on developing interoperable digital repositories and low-latency architecture to ensure multisensory assets can be integrated into archival structures.
The project period runs from 2022-10-01 to 2025-12-31.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring a 33% industry ratio with 4 industry partners and 6 SMEs. The collaboration spans 9 countries, combining academic research from 3 universities and 2 research centers with practical implementation from SMEs, indicating a strong pipeline from research to market application.
