EUreka3D-XR (European Union’s REKonstructed content in 3D to produce XR experiences) to increase the number of 3D and XR scenarios in the data space. Building on the results of the EUreka3D project, it will deliver a framework and a series of capacity-building activities which support the creation of XR experiences.
The EUreka3D-XR framework will offer an online toolbox designed for both content providers and users. Through the toolbox, cultural heritage institutions will be empowered to enhance their digital skills, access datasets and transform cultural content into XR experiences. End users—including researchers, students, tourists, creatives and local communities—will engage with these experiences in new, interactive ways.
The project will develop and showcase three XR scenarios: a virtual reconstruction of the medieval walls of Girona; an XR narrative of ongoing excavations at the Bibracte archaeological site; and onsite XR reconstructions of the Saint Neophytos site for visitor engagement. User testing and impact assessment will ensure meaningful, sustainable results that support the long-term integration of XR in the cultural heritage sector.
