Project description:
Centrica has developed ArtCentrica, an EDUTECH platform for teaching art history, enhanced with innovative modules based on AI and Augmented Reality.
The new modules include automatic image segmentation with semantic recognition, an advanced cybersecurity system for multi-level protection, and an AR module for accessing information about works in museums.
It also includes a module for integration with standard APIs and open image repositories.
With the project ‘The interactive-immersive cloud platform for cultural storytelling’, we want to create a digital network that connects cultural sites in the Lombardy region. Through innovative technologies, we want to offer an accessible cultural experience that engages younger generations.
The digital platform will be available in Italian and English, and exploring it will allow users to learn about and share the artistic and cultural works of the two places involved, the ‘Museo Archeologico della Valle Sabbia’ and the ‘Museo Civico Polironiano di San Bendetto Po’, with the possibility of integrating educational programmes within schools, thus ensuring a circular economic flow.
All this has been made possible through the Innovacultura call for proposals by the Lombardy Region, which, with its contribution of approximately €168,000, supports the entire project we have designed for a total amount of €249,000.
