What is the SMART project?
The project promotes the culture of accessibility between tourism and cultural operators and the active participation of citizens in the valorization of natural and cultural heritage as a common good.
There are three starting pilot sites (Valdagno-IT, Resia-IT, Saalfelden-AT) all characterized by the presence of small museums and significant landscape and cultural aspects. In addition, a fourth pilot site in Alto Adige - IT will be identified during the implementation of the project. In these pilot sites, participatory planning tours will be activated with the local communities for the collection and elaboration of content and values, with particular attention to those that define the uniqueness of the place. The developed contents will then be returned within innovative devices (technological and narrative), that will enrich the existing museum sites (App for interactive visit, augmented reality, multimedia installations, and thematic itineraries) and enhance the natural context (multimedia storytelling itineraries of places) for an experiential, immersive and emotional fruition.
Accessibility will be central focus, with the development of multimodal devices that will allow an immersive fruition for everyone, thanks to the possibility of choosing and combining different visit ways, designed to meet the needs of different abilities, ages, origins, as well as motor, sensory and cognitive difficulties. Finally, the pilot sites will be connected in a virtual museum circuit that will allow remote visits and the access to special contents, including the possibility to be expanded to other structures after the end of the project. Despite the diversity and variety of each project pilot sites, it has been identified an element combing all sites: the water. Water is a fundamental element characterizing the landscape, history, human culture and traditions of the four sites. Thus, its valorisation as natural element and symbolic element will be included while developing the participatory planning tours and cultural circuit.
