Description: | THE RESEARCH PROPOSAL "OPEN, ACCESSIBLE THEATER FOR ALL" IS AN INTERSECTION OF TECHNOLOGICAL AND INSTITUTIONAL INNOVATION. IT IS THE STARTING POINT OF A SERIES OF EMBLEMATIC ACTIONS WITH THE AIM OF SECURING THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT FOR ALL TO THEATRICAL EDUCATION, THROUGH INCREASING PARTICIPATION AND ELIMINATING EXCLUSION FROM CULTURAL GOODS, AND OF EXPLOITING AND CAPITALIZING ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TECHNOLOGY, CULTURAL HERITAGE AND CULTURAL TOURISM. ITS REALIZATION IS BASED ON THE CREATION OF AN INTERDISCIPLINARY OPEN LABORATORY OF DIGITAL SERVICES AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS IN CULTURE. UTILIZING EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURES (DAEM - MUNICIPALITY OF ATHENS, NATIONAL TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY AND KAKOGIANNI FOUNDATION), THE LABORATORY WILL FUNCTION AS AN INCUBATOR FOR ALL INDIVIDUAL ACTIONS, SUCH AS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PROTOTYPE INFORMATION NAVIGATION SYSTEM FOR SENSITIVE POPULATION GROUPS AT THE KAKOGIANNIS FOUNDATION AND LEVERAGING CULTURAL DIGITAL INVENTORY USING OPEN, INTERCONNECTED CULTURAL DATA, BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. BASED ON THE FACT THAT EACH PERSON HAS UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS, INTERESTS, ABILITIES AND LEARNING NEEDS, AN INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR INNOVATIVE PRESENTATION OF EVENTS IS INITIALLY PROPOSED. THE SYSTEM WILL BE DESIGNED TO INCLUDE IN ITS SPECIFICATIONS THE WIDE VARIATION OF THESE NEEDS. IN THIS WAY, PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL SKILLS, SUCH AS PEOPLE WITH VISION AND HEARING PROBLEMS, WILL BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE THE EXPERIENCE OF "CULTURAL EXPERIENCE", THROUGH ANTHROPOCENTRIC INFORMATION THAT WILL MEET THEIR NEEDS. THE COMPONENT OF THE AFOREMENTIONED ACTIONS WILL BE AN INTEGRATED NAVIGATION SYSTEM, WHICH WILL INCLUDE THE APPLICATION OF AUGMENTED REALITY (AUGMENTED REALITY), WILL INTEGRATE INTELLIGENT STORYTELLING TECHNIQUES AND WILL WORK AS A PERSONALIZED TOUR SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, IT WILL UTILIZE THE INFORMATION OF THE USER'S LOCATION AND THE NEAREST EXHIBITS AND WILL TRANSMIT RELEVANT INFORMATION BOTH VISUALLY AND AUDIBLY. FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROPOSAL, 3 BODIES WILL WORK IN ADDITION: (1) THE NATIONAL TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF ATHENS, WITH THE "ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN PLANNING IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES" LABORATORY OF THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING WHICH WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STUDY OF THE ARCHITECTURAL SHELL WITHIN WHICH ALL THE NEW TECHNOLOGIES WILL BE INTEGRATED, HE WILL DESIGN THE NAVIGATION APPLICATION, HE WILL BUILD THE MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS FOR THE PILOT ACTION AND HE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGNS OF THE MOLDS THAT WILL BE MANUFACTURED USING STATE-OF-THE-ART DIGITAL SCANNING (LASER SCANNING) AND MANUFACTURING WITH THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING (3D-PRINTING) (2) DAEM WITH ITS PROVEN EXPERIENCE, WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE SYSTEM AND ITS DESIGN, THE INTEGRATION OF THE REQUESTED APPLICATIONS, THE MANAGEMENT OF THE INFORMATION PORTAL AND COMMUNICATION SERVICES, THE MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION OF THE PROJECT, ALSO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BASIC RESEARCH IN THE FIELD OF USE IF OF INTIMATE, INTERCONNECTED CULTURE DATA AND BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY BUT ALSO IN RECORDING THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE INFORMATION SYSTEM. (3) THE KAKOGIANNIS FOUNDATION WILL NOT ONLY GUIDE THE THEATER RESEARCH BUT WILL ALSO BE THE END USER SINCE THE EXPERIMENTAL APPLICATION. |
