TAG CLOUD
Adaptability & lifelong enGagement with culture
About
TAG CLOUD (Technologies lead to Adaptability & lifelong enGagement with culture throughout the CLOUD) is a European project that will generate lifelong engagement with cultural heritage through social media, augmented reality and storytelling applications based on the cloud.
The project aims to increase the active participation of general public in cultural events and experiences, by inviting them to become participants in their own cultural experiences, contributing with new content, opinions, as well as sharing information with other people and heritage institutions, curators and researchers in the cultural area before, during and after the visit.
Partners
The project is lead by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) and involves other universities and research centers (University of Birmingham, UK; SINTEF, NO; and Fraunhofer Fokus, DE), leading IT companies (BMT Group, UK; INMARK, ES; OKKAM, IT; and GEOMobile, DE) and three cultural heritage institutions that will serve as pilots.
Pilots
The system will be simultaneously installed in three different pilot sites: an archaeological site that combines indoor and outdoor scenarios (the Alhambra of Granada in Spain), a traditional museum (Barber Institute of Fine Arts in United Kingdom), a city with different museums and cultural institutions (Sør-Trøndelag in Norway).
Technologies
TAG CLOUD system aims to develop the appropriate applications and tools that will enable the adaptive cultural experience using augmented reality, storytelling software and social media. It also provides mechanisms that allow cultural researchers and curators to measure the trends and preferences of the public in social networks.
Co-funded by the ICT Programme of FP7
