IMPULSE research explores new ways of creating immersive experiences of Europe’s (digital) cultural heritage.

The February hackathon, anchored in the Impulse project, is intended to tackle not only practical research-driven challenges but also the shifting frameworks that affect cultural heritage work. These frameworks include technical conditions such as artificial intelligence and XR technology stacks, regulatory aspects like access to open data and a wide range of open technologies, and conceptual or philosophical perspectives regarding the meaning of openness and immersive experience.

Through a series of complementary challenges, the hackathon will explore three critical questions:

1. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 of open data culture as the power of open source software increases while open data philosophies are challenged by AI;
2. The new 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 requiring a recalibration of access and value creation, and
3. The need for 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗫𝗥, which must integrate both technical competencies and a deeper understanding of data-driven value processes under the unique conditions of the cultural heritage ecosystem (“data cultures”) to “think inside the box” of immersive experience.
