EUreka3D-XR supports the digital transformation of the cultural heritage sector through Extended Reality (XR) technologies.
The Impact
Built on the EUreka3D initiative, the project develops tools, training and best practices that help cultural heritage institutions create immersive and accessible experiences while contributing to the Common European Data Space for Cultural Heritage.
The challenge
Many cultural heritage institutions have limited experience with 3D and Extended Reality technologies and often lack the skills or resources to create immersive digital experiences.
Demonstrating the practical value of XR and engaging professionals beyond individual training activities were key dissemination challenges.
EUreka3D-XR addressed these challenges by combining practical training, knowledge-sharing resources and partner networks, creating a growing community of cultural heritage professionals.
The solution
EUreka3D-XR built on the experience of the previous EUreka3D project to help cultural heriatge professionals adopt Extended Reality technologies. Through practical training, shared learning resources and best practices guidelines, the project supported insitutions in creating accessible and reusable XR experiences.
The project also developed a strong knowledge-sharing community by providing newsletters, recorded training materials and a shared repository of resources. Working closely with project partners and professional networks helped expand the project's reach and encourage long-term engagement across the cultural heritage sector.
Our work is focused on concrete outcomes, addressed to empowering cultural heritage professionals in digital transformation of the sector, and supporting the Common European Data Space for Cultural Heritage for the benefit of all.
...and Why it matters
EUreka3D-XR is a DEDEP.eu Inspiring Story thanks to its strong focus on capacity building and community engagement. By combining practical training, shared resources and collaboration with professional networks, the project helps cultural heritage institutions confidently adopt Extended Reality technologies and make digital heritage more accessible.
The project not only helps cultural heritage institutions adopt new digital technologies, it also contributes to a more open, accessible and connected European cultural heritage ecosystem.
