MuseIT_Multi-sensory, User-centred, Shared cultural Experiences through Interactive Technologies

数字化转型的进步丰富了文化遗产的互动体验。数字技术的采用有利于虚拟博物馆图尔斯旅游的发展、文化资产的保护、数字化档案，从而使人们能够以更广泛和更有吸引力的方式接触文化遗产。尽管取得了重大进展，但仍然存在结构性缺陷：缺乏对所有人的无障碍访问;所有社会成员平等参与文化和创意产业的机会有限;用于存档可访问的多感官文化资产的可互操作数字存储库和相关档案结构有限。有10亿人患有某种形式的残疾，其中五分之一患有严重残疾，因此并非所有人都能平等地获得接触文化资产的机会。MuseIT旨在共同设计、开发和共同评估一个多感官、以用户为中心的平台，以包容和人人机会平等为核心原则，丰富文化资产的参与。MuseIT的创新植根于文化遗产的多感官表现，超越了视觉和听觉。更具体地说，MuseIT将：a）共同设计和开发文化资产的多感官表现和呈现，B）开发包容性远程共同创造多模式数字文化资产的服务，以及c）制定包容性文化遗产档案保护的正式规范和战略。参与性共同设计活动将是使残疾用户能够参与影响其生活的决策和设计的一个组成部分。MuseIT创造的丰富的文化资产体验将不仅限于这一群体，而且有可能提高所有人的参与和享受水平。影响可能包括文化资产体验的民主化，以及创意和文化产业的切实增长。

Advancements in digital transformation have enriched the interactive experience of cultural heritage. The adoption of digital technologies has benefited the development of virtual museum tours, preservation of cultural assets, digitised archives enabling broader and engaging means of access to cultural heritage. Despite critical advances, structural deficiencies remain: lack of accessibility for all; limited opportunities for all members of society to participate in cultural and creative industries on equal basis; and limited interoperable digital repositories for archiving accessible multisensory cultural assets and related archival structures. With one billion people experiencing some form of disability and one-fifth of these experiencing significant disabilities, access or opportunities to engage with cultural assets is not equally available to all. MuseIT aims to co-design, develop, and co-evaluate a multisensory, user-centred platform for enriched engagement with cultural assets with inclusion and equal opportunity for all as core principles. The MuseIT innovation is rooted in multisensory representations of cultural heritage which extend beyond the visual and auditory senses. More specifically, MuseIT will: a) co-design and develop multisensory representations and rendering of cultural assets, b) develop services for inclusive remote co creation of multi-modal born-digital cultural assets, and c) develop formal specifications and strategies for inclusive archival preservation of cultural heritage. Participatory co-design activities will be integral to enable users with disabilities to be involved in decisions and designs that will affect their lives. Enriched experiences of cultural assets created by MuseIT will not be limited to this group and is likely to enhance the level of participation and enjoyment for all people. Impacts are likely to include the democratization of cultural asset experiences, and tangible growth in creative and cultural industries.
