Project Proposal
Title: Geocentric Interfaces for Heritage Digitisation
Type Details: Web interfaces with maps (Google Maps, Google Earth, MS Live Maps, Virtual Earth) provide a very intuitive interface for displaying heritage locations. We propose to develop low-cost tools for generalised and standardised authoring and displaying cultural heritage in the 2D+time space, allowing to follow the location and state of heritage items over space and time. This allows the viewer to grasp and learn the context of different heritage sites and artefacts, by visually indicating the state of a heritage site/item at a selected time and hereby allowing to make connections across space and time. Examples of such items could be: the Roman road network, the evolving railway network, archaeological sites (building extent). The user will have simple interaction widgets for selecting the time (e.g. slider) for intuitively

Target Partner
Expertise: We are looking for partners in the Heritage sector who have suitable collections for which the spatial location is a relevant factor. This can be anything related to cultural and artisan heritage.
Furthermore, we are looking for a partner with an interest in teaching and education about heritage, for dissemination of the products and approaches.
We also are looking for a partner with experience and interest in coordinating this project.
SMEs are very welcome!
