Digital Journey across Musical Places in Europe and Extended Realities
Acronym: PlaceMUS XR
Description
The PlaceMUS XR project aims to design and develop innovative digital tools, integrated within the ECCCH platform (European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage) developed by ECHOES (European Cloud for Heritage OpEn Science), to foster a deeper understanding of the places and objects of music in Europe and their historical, cultural, and artistic contexts. Through applications of virtual and augmented reality, the project offers an engaging and interactive experience to a diverse audience. These places will be embedded within a network of historical, cultural, artistic, and temporal relationships linked to the world of music, narrated through a multisensory digital journey — a heritage of material and immaterial information, sounds, images, spaces, figures, and events. The project will be implemented through relevant case studies, chosen for the diversity of their themes and audiences. At the same time, digital tools will be developed to enable the creation and integration of new contents and paths in the future, and to support curators to design and implement sound experiences in museums.
