The AI-WEB3-XR technologies to ensure growth of the Culture & Heritage sectors

Moderator : Michael Barngrover, Raptor Dance Studio

Onsite in Brussels and online for members

Technological advancements in AI, XR, and Web3 technologies are presenting museums and cultural heritage institutions with a fast evolving web of opportunities. In some cases the value of a new technology initiative can seem obvious, but each affects change in how an institution operates. Often these technologies unlock the most value when integrated with another, but with that can come additional complexity. As part of the XR4Heritage Factory event within the Bright Festival, taking place in Brussels on 17 February 2023, XR4Europe is organizing an expert panel discussion on these topics. Our invited guest speakers are prominent members of the European culture and heritage sector and will share their insights of practical applications of these technologies that museums can consider today, and a few applications that may soon become practical.
