HEMOC
The HEritage MOnitoring in Como (HEMOC) project proposes the creation of a system for the collection and use of data useful for the conservation of cultural heritage. Thanks to innovative digital technologies such as virtual reality, satellite data, IoT sensors and cloud computing, HEMOC will allow the structural stability of areas and buildings of high artistic and architectural value to be verified. In particular, the project will focus on the historic center of the city of Como, affected by slow subsidence phenomena. The proposed solution will allow monitoring the millimetric movements of critical points by integrating different monitoring technologies, including the global positioning satellite system (GNSS), satellite interferometry (InSAR), drones and traditional topographic surveys. Furthermore, thanks to the development of specific interfaces also based on virtual reality, HEMOC will streamline access to the information collected, thus simplifying the interpretation and consequent management of the monitored cultural heritage.     Contacts: Eugenio Realini eugenio-realini@g-red.eu

GIAMES ARC
Ski lovers will be able to use an experimental and interactive "fun slope" in which they will be the participants of a game that has the ski slope as its competition field. The course will include tests of skill, dexterity, precision, speed and style. Each skier will be identifiable thanks to an adhesive mark and will be followed by a network of cameras placed along the entire route. The cameras will exploit a system that uses artificial intelligence, which will assign, in real time, a score to the various tests taken. The route will initially cover a single section of the "fun slope" and in the final phase of the project it will be extended for the entire length (approximately 1800 m.). The experimental "fun slope" will optimize the use of the slopes and increase travel times, allowing savings in land, water and electricity.     Contacts: Daniel Grosjacques  daniel.grosjacques@monterosaspa.com

AET
AET was born from the experience of Integrated and Free Tourist Solutions. The project aims to transform educational and study trips into annual learning paths, enriched by augmented reality (AR) and an adaptive LMS (Learning management system) platform. The project includes a pre-visit phase, in which students receive digital materials and publications to familiarize themselves with the places and themes of the trip, and a post-visit phase, in which the evolution of students' knowledge will be assessed, through contents and assessment. Families and teachers will also be involved, allowing them to evaluate the soft skills acquired. The educational journey will therefore evolve into an educational path ("learning path"), capable of "listening" to the participants through the analysis of the feedback received. The results acquired from the project will be shared publicly, to promote further experimentation through open knowledge.          Contacts: Matteo Dispenza mat@jobonobo.com

AI4HERITAGE
Adequate monitoring of artistic heritage guarantees undoubted economic advantages, including the reduction of restoration costs over time and insurance costs. A well-maintained heritage also increases the number of visitors, facilitating the sustenance of the institution itself. The project will develop advanced models for monitoring and conservative documentation of works of art through high-resolution 3D scanning and the application of artificial intelligence algorithms for the automatic recognition of degradation. In particular, the algorithms will take care of finding the differences between two scans of the same object and identifying the anomaly according to a recognized technical classification. These technologies, individually available on the market but not integrated and optimized, would allow an efficient, low-cost and extremely effective monitoring process. The system would not replace the use of experts for an assessment of the damage and any restoration activities, but would allow the execution of large-scale campaigns in an extremely short time, suggesting to restorers which works to concentrate their attention on.          Contacts: Maurizio Rea maurizio.rea@wiredenterprise.eu

PERFECTSELFIE
Perfect Selfie is an application for perfect photos: the work of art is framed perfectly and the visitor is perfectly posed: without the crowd and the rush around, without foregrounds or blurry backgrounds, without blur. It also means more time for the visitor to dedicate to contemplating the works, a more regular flow of visits and greater safety for the museum, with a better overall experience. The result is guaranteed by an AI for cropping, segmentation and merging of images. It uses the Blockchain to certify and make the images obtained unique. The project will study different options for exploiting the results, from standalone applications for individual museums, to vertical applications for cultural heritage, to 'white label' remote services, to functions for generalist applications.          Contacts: Flavio Trione flavio.trione@3x1010.it
