About TAG CLOUD
TAG CLOUD (Technologies lead to Adaptability & lifelong enGagement with culture throughout the CLOUD) is a European project that aims to increase the active participation of general public in cultural events and experiences, by inviting them to become participants through social media, augmented reality and storytelling applications based on the cloud.
Partners
Led by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), the project involves other universities and research centers (University of Birmingham, UK; SINTEF, NO; and Fraunhofer Fokus, DE), leading IT companies (BMT Group, UK; INMARK, ES; OKKAM, IT; and GEOMobile, DE) and three cultural institutions.
Pilots
The system will be tested in three pilot sites: an archaeological site that combines indoor and outdoor scenarios (the Alhambra of Granada in Spain), a traditional museum (Barber Institute of Fine Arts in United Kingdom), and a city with with different museums and cultural institutions (Sør-Trøndelag in Norway).
Technologies
TAG CLOUD aims to develop the appropriate applications and tools that will enable the adaptative cultural experience using augmented reality, storytelling and social media apps. It also provides mechanisms that allow cultural researchers and curators to measure the trends and preferences of the public in social networks.
Co-funded by the ICT programme of FP7
