“Zenith Outdoor/Indoor Experience for Cultural Tours with AR technology and 3D platform (ZOE)” is a transnational ERASMUS+ project funded by the European Commission. ZOE aims to enhance cultural learning by merging different digital tools, including Augmented Reality glasses and customized navigation applications, to create a novel way of experiencing outdoor cultural heritage (ranging from buildings and statues to street art or ensembles like parks) that is more engaging and inviting for lifelong learning. Our lab is leading the work package dealing with outdoor AR elements. You can visit the project’s website here.
