ARTEMIS reaches Milestone 7: the pilots have been selected and the initial design is completed.
A key transition for the project, from technical development to real-world cultural heritage applications.
The ARTEMIS pilots are the experimentation framework of the project: a diverse set of use cases designed to test how the Reactive Heritage Digital Twin can support conservation, monitoring, simulation, interpretation and decision-making across different cultural heritage contexts.
The pilot portfolio is organised across three scales.
1. Small-scale pilots
Focused use cases at the level of individual assets, specific collections or well-defined environments. They include 3D virtual reassembly, immersive monitoring, smart display cases, collaborative workspaces and condition assessment.
2. Medium-scale pilots
Monuments, historic buildings and extended structural elements. Climate and condition monitoring, structural analysis, reconstruction of past displays, environmental storytelling and performance simulation are all part of the scope.
3. Large-scale pilots
Cities, landscapes and territorial systems. From crowd movement simulation in historic city centres to metadata management for vulnerable buildings, country-scale environmental threat warning, military architecture simulation, forest management and climate change scenarios for historic settlements.
The first dedicated pilot page is now online: Pilot 20, Crowd movement simulation in historic city centres, based on a high-fidelity 3D digital replica of the Old Town of Xanthi and combining multi-agent simulation, VR-based interaction and scenario-based analysis to support decision-making for high-density events in cultural heritage settings.
Dedicated pages for the other pilots will be released over the coming weeks.
