“Mapping the Future" “Preservation and enhancement of CH” Unit Luxembourg, January 28, 2003
Intelligent Heritage The industry perspective Flavio Tariffi, SPACE S.p.a. • Goals • The opportunity • The market • What the industry needs • 4 examples • Conclusions
Goals • At the workprogramme level: • Improving access to C&SH objects • Re-creating and visualising objects • Creating new forms of user experience • Closer to the market: • integration, downstream solutions • targeting reference communities • Recognition of the commercial value of CH • Therefore: what the industry will need to make this a reality
The opportunity:scenario • There is a strong push towards a new “Industry of Imagination” • Individual experience is key in the “age of access” and new services • The “Erlebnispark” model: special places concentrate experience • Towards new widespread large-bandwidth value-added services
The opportunity:challenges • Connecting the building blocks • Bringing the results to everybody • Technically, I.e., make it feasible, ubiquitous and mobile • Economically • Culturally • Move from showcases mostly in the high arts towards local identity and “minor” heritage
The market • Public Administrations for new cultural services • New jobs and services in the field of tourism • E-learning and education • Media and publishing: leisure and information services via large-bandwidth, satellite, mobile 3G and beyond
The industry needs… • value chains to attain critical mass • E.g.: synthesis/display/TLC/object/context • Create integrated value chains and real “experience services” • Shaping user compliance • Not asking users to adapt to technology but making it seamless • Making services available on a significant scale • Move from exception (proofs of concept and demonstrators) to normality • Build on standards and shared platforms
Example 1Experience Parks • Provide integrated edutainment systems • Competitive advantage: based on real, historic assets they make more visible and entertaining, rather than on totally re-created (artificial) environments • Target: addressing an enormous continental and foreign public • Side effects: strong inter-relations with tourism, e-learning (see the case study), e-commerce, publishing, games
Example 2 – Leisure • Virtual communities and added-value services in large-bandwidth environments • Competitive advantage: history and a common culture as aggregators for Europe-wide services • Target: users of games (one of the leading phenomena in the industry) and digital entertainment services • Side effects: on e-work, e-business • One example: the Renaissance project
Example 3New publishing services • Novel ways to create user experience on new and “traditional” assets • Competitive advantage: can be done elsewhere, but Europe has a clear “cultural” lead • Target: addressing on most topics a world-wide audience (see the case study below) • Side effects: stimulates TLC, the e-commerce value chain, cultural tourism; revitalises the role of publishers
Example 4Science Parks • Making science a live, direct experience • Competitive advantage: can be “bundled” with schools, will benefit from significant eEurope funds for e-learning • Target: mostly but not exclusively the younger generations • Side effects: effects on publishing, games, tourism (science parks are physical places) • One example: the City of Science created in naples
Conclusions • IH: an exciting opportunity for the industry in general and for the EU one in particular • The industry will ask for fewer showcases and p.o.c. and more viable integrated solutions that can go large-scale • More innovation (make the new happen) and less invention (exploring the radically new) • Core actors to work together: visual technology, TLC, tourism, games/leisure, publishing and P.A. • Less VR of showcase monuments and more diffused, local heritage: bring IH everywhere
