Imagine a museum where a blind person can 'feel' a painting through touch-sensors or a complex old text is automatically translated into simple, modern speech. It uses AI to turn visual art into sound and touch, and old language into something we use today. It's like giving a digital set of eyes and ears to people who can't see or hear normally.
Cultural institutions struggle to make their archives accessible to people with sensory impairments. This leads to lost revenue and failure to meet international inclusion standards.
A suite of 12 tools including SRGAN/ESRGAN image enhancers, haptic interfaces for touch-based art exploration, and AI-driven historical-to-modern language translators.
If you are a museum operator dealing with low visitor engagement from people with disabilities — this project developed 12 technology solutions that use haptics and AI to make exhibits accessible to everyone.
If you are an EdTech company dealing with outdated historical archives that students find hard to read — this project developed language models that map historical references to contemporary language usage.
If you are a hardware maker dealing with a lack of real-world use cases for touch-interfaces — this project developed haptic interfaces specifically for interacting with cultural assets.
Based on available project data, the specific pricing for the 12 technology solutions is not listed, though the project received an EU contribution of EUR 3,527,250 for development.
Yes, the project specifically uses AI for text-to-audio translation to achieve economies of scale in emotional audio transcription.
The project includes the implementation of tools for creating ownership chains to protect copyrights of digital media.
Yes, the project adopts accessibility by design principles to promote compliance with International standards.
Based on available project data, the specific integration timeline is not provided, but the project period runs from 2022-10-01 to 2025-09-30.
The project is led by an SME (Software Imagination and Vision SRL) and features a strong commercial lean with 4 industrial partners and 5 SMEs, resulting in a 29% industry ratio. This mix of 14 partners across 8 countries, including academic institutions like QMUL and FORTH, suggests a high capacity for turning research into marketable digital products.
