Imagine a world where history comes to life, where ancient monuments tell their stories through advanced simulations, and where the past is preserved with the precision of the future. ARTEMIS is that world. With state-of-the-art digital twins and AR/VR technologies, this Horizon project commissioned by the European Union bridges the gap between heritage and innovation, ensuring that the treasures of yesterday inspire the generations of tomorrow.
ARTEMIS sets out to achieve a transformative impact on the conservation, restoration, safeguarding, and valorization of cultural heritage through the innovative use of digital twin technology.
The Reactive Heritage Digital Twin (RHDT) adds sensors to the content of a digital twin. These sensors interact with the environment and the cultural object, detecting physical quantities such as humidity, temperature, movement, and more. They enable continuous exchange between the real and virtual.
The digital twin technology will allow researchers and conservators to conduct virtual experiments and simulations, testing various conservation methods and their potential impacts without risking damage to the actual heritage assets.
The project aims to support better-informed decision-making by providing policy and decision-makers powerful tools to simulate the effects of different strategies and interventions before they are implemented in real life.
