Our E-Contents Platform

We analyze how to address portability of existing cultural dissemination assets such as Science and Heritage museums on a digital platform. In particular, we address the problem of e-contents for Science and Heritage popularization, i.e. of making accessible on the net the kind of experiences which can raise the awareness of the youngsters and the laymen in these areas. Special emphasis goes also in the direction of experimenting with existing solutions for enhancing digitally the fruition of cultural artifacts.

This platform is an archive of cultural and scientific contents in digital format. In particular it includes some samples from the Archeological Museum Hyderabad, Modern collection and more.
