Perceptive Enhanced Realities of Colored collEctions through AI and Virtual Experiences

感知旨在提高有色文化遗产藏品的感知、保存、策展、展示、理解和获取。它旨在开发一种可靠的方法来研究、重建、渲染、重新映射、展示和重新使用它们。事实上，这些藏品是优先考虑的，因为它们非常脆弱，需要共同的方法来保存和展示它们（例如，纺织品在短短10年内就开始褪色，而古典雕像上的原始多色只留下了很小的痕迹），因为它们的研究非常复杂（特别是试图重建它们的原始外观）。也因为他们与后代交流的重要性，以及围绕“关怀”和“多样性/多样性”（即希腊和罗马时代常见的不同肤色）概念塑造欧洲共同身份的重要性。感知从更好地保存和交流彩色艺术品，改进和加快科学处理结果的双重需求出发，可以更好地利用这些需求来最大化游客对实体和数字彩色收藏品的体验。事实上，在冠状病毒紧急情况之后，事实证明，博物馆缺乏能够保证游客可持续远程访问的数字政策。感知旨在通过基于服务的人工智能架构和工具包，提高科学家和文化机构的数字化能力；并基于“关怀”、“可达性”和“真实性”概念，为创意产业开发一种新的现场和远程VR/AR/MR体验设计理论。我们的预期成果包括服务和工具，包括：连接到在线易于使用的服务的感知工具包，为游客提供的感知体验原型，为设计师和教育工作者提供的感知设计工具包。

PERCEIVE aims at improving the perception, preservation, curation, exhibition, understanding and access of colored Cultural Heritage collections. It aims at developing a reliable way to Study, Reconstruct, Render, Remap, Exhibit and Re-appropriate them. These collections are, in fact, a priority because of their high fragility that requires shared methods to preserve and exhibit them (i.e. textiles start fading in only 10 years, while only small traces of the original polychromy on classical statues is left today), because of the complexity of their study (especially with the attempts of reconstructing their original appearance), and because of the importance of their communication to future generations and of the shaping of European common identity around the concepts of “care” and diversity/variety” (i.e. the different shades of skin colors that were common in the Greek and Roman times). PERCEIVE starts from the twofold needs of better preserving and communicating colored artworks, improving and speeding up scientific process results, that could better be used to maximize visitors' experience with the physical and the digital colored collections. Following the coronavirus emergency, in fact, museums have proved to lack of a digital policy that could guarantee a sustainable remote access for visitors. PERCEIVE aims at advancing the digital capability of scientists and cultural institutions, through a service based AI architecture and tool-kit; and by developing a new design theory for on site and remote VR/AR/MR experiences, based on “Care” “Accessibility” and “Authenticity” concepts, with and for the creative industries. Our expected outcomes include services and tools including: a PERCEIVE Tool Kit connected to an on line easy-to-use Service, PERCEIVE Experience Prototypes for the visitors, PERCEIVE Design Tool Kit for designers and educators.
