Open Data of the Past:
How uniting creative minds with digital cultural heritage not only shines a light on historical treasures but also propels us to aim for the stars?
Creative innovators are pivotal in shaping the Big (Open) Data of the Past - an endeavour undertaken by the Time Machine network bridging Europe's history with cutting-edge digital technology, resulting in a shared digital system that intricately maps the ongoing tapestry of Europe's economic, social, cultural, and geographical evolution.
Our society thrives on imaginative thinkers, and this is your chance to become part of a transformative movement that will sculpt Europe's future by creating and exploring the Big (Open) Data of the Past. Join us in discovering how 3D visualizations can unlock cultural heritage data and how digital cultural heritage has the ability to intensify your tourism adventures, enrich museum visits and learning/gaming environment.
