PERCEIVE aims at improving the perception, preservation, curation, exhibition, understanding and access of colored Cultural Heritagecollections. It aims at developing a reliable way to Study, Reconstruct, Render, Remap, Exhibit and Re-appropriate them. Thesecollections are, in fact, a priority because of their high fragility that requires shared methods to preserve and exhibit them (i.e. textilesstart fading in only 10 years, while only small traces of the original polychromy on classical statues is left today), because of thecomplexity of their study (especially with the attempts of reconstructing their original appearance), and because of the importance oftheir communication to future generations and of the shaping of European common identity around the concepts of “care” and diversity/variety” (i.e. the different shades of skin colors that were common in the Greek and Roman times). PERCEIVE starts from the twofoldneeds of better preserving and communicating colored artworks, improving and speeding up scientific process results, that could betterbe used to maximize visitors' experience with the physical and the digital colored collections. Following the coronavirus emergency, infact, museums have proved to lack of a digital policy that could guarantee a sustainable remote access for visitors. PERCEIVE aimsat advancing the digital capability of scientists and cultural institutions, through a service based AI architecture and tool-kit; and bydeveloping a new design theory for on site and remote VR/AR/MR experiences, based on “Care” “Accessibility” and “Authenticity”concepts, with and for the creative industries. Our expected outcomes include services and tools including: a PERCEIVE Tool Kitconnected to an on line easy-to-use Service, PERCEIVE Experience Prototypes for the visitors, PERCEIVE Design Tool Kit for designersand educators.
