Imagine trying to remember the exact color of a painting that has faded over centuries. This project uses AI to act like a digital time machine, calculating what those original colors looked like. It then puts those colors into VR headsets so people can experience the art as it was originally created.
Museums lack sustainable digital policies for remote access and struggle to preserve highly fragile colored collections that fade rapidly. There is a gap in reliable methods to reconstruct and exhibit original colors accurately in digital formats.
A service-based AI platform including a Runtime Environment, API, and Design ToolBox. It also includes VR/AR/MR experience prototypes and material appearance models.
If you are a digital exhibition provider dealing with fragile artifacts that fade in 10 years — this project developed a service-based AI architecture that reconstructs original colors to create authentic virtual experiences.
If you are a VR/AR content studio dealing with the lack of accurate historical color data — this project developed a Design ToolBox and material appearance models that allow for the creation of high-fidelity digital twins.
If you are an EdTech developer dealing with low student engagement in history — this project developed experience prototypes based on embodiment and emotion to increase user interaction with colored collections.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures are not mentioned; however, the project aims to provide a service-based AI architecture and toolkit.
The project is designed for the creative industries and cultural institutions, utilizing a service-based AI architecture and API design to facilitate integration.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project delivers a Design ToolBox and a Runtime Environment.
Integration is handled via a dedicated API design and a Runtime Environment (FORTH) developed as part of the PERCEIVE Platform.
The project period runs from 2023-02-01 to 2026-01-31, with key prototypes and services updated at M36.
The consortium consists of 12 partners across 8 countries, showing a strong international reach. With a 25% industry ratio (3 industrial partners), the project balances academic research with commercial application, though the absence of SMEs suggests a focus on larger research entities and established industry players.
