SPIRIT ANNETTE
Real-time telepresence platform for cultural and tourism applications
The ANNETTE project aims to validate the SPIRIT platform through the integration and demonstration of advanced telepresence applications in the tourism and cultural sectors.
Scope of the project
DOTSOFT will adapt the Knossos Palace – Crete AR application, providing photorealistic virtual tours of cultural heritage sites through 3D reconstruction and real-time avatars.
WINGS ICT Solutions will contribute with the wi.LIVE Culture platform, which enables 3D digitization of museums, navigation in virtual reality (VR) environments, content retrieval via QR codes, and synchronized multi-user experiences.
The project leverages 5G networks and edge-cloud infrastructures within the SPIRIT platform testbeds to ensure scalability, high performance, and low latency for immersive experiences.
The project tests will validate the SPIRIT platform’s capabilities in managing photorealistic avatars, real-time performance, and distributed processing, contributing to the advancement of telepresence technologies.
