The event will present high-quality 3D models and demonstrate the potential of 3D digitisation, particularly in culture. The collection of detailed information about digitised assets contributes to richer, more dynamic and multidimensional representations of heritage assets. Capturing the historical context and stories of cultural assets will unlock greater potential for reuse, including in extended reality experiences.
Twin it! II builds on a first phase of the campaign, which produced 37 high-quality 3D models representing buildings, sites and objects from every EU Member State.
Executive Vice-President for Technological Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, Henna Virkkunen said:
“Digitisation means preserving, protecting and sharing our cultural heritage. Artificial intelligence and open data innovation can fuel creativity and curiosity across sectors from education, tourism and entertainment.”
The European Commission has proposed a strategy for a Common European Data Space for Cultural Heritage, setting out guidelines for Member States to improve data sharing, increase reuse, and empower specialists in the field of cultural heritage preservation and digitisation.
