We are partners in this innovative project called PlaceMUS XR which is a European research and innovation project that transforms how we experience musical heritage. Instead of presenting music as archival content, the project creates immersive, interactive journeys where sound, architecture, landscape, memory, and storytelling harmonize.
By combining Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) immersive sound design, 3D environments, story maps, and user analytics, PlaceMUS XR enables users to explore Europe’s musical heritage both remotely and on-site. The project envisions Places of Music as Extended Realities — living scores where spatial, acoustic, social, and historical their fullest resonance.
The project demonstrates its approach through relevant case studies, spanning different genres and themes, periods, regions, and audiences. At the same time, digital tools will enable the creation and integration of new contents and paths beyond the project’s lifetime. One of the case studies is about Hungarian heritage – from Liszt to dancehouse movement.
This project is part of the Cultural Heritage Cloud / European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH), an EU initiative building a shared digital infrastructure for cultural heritage professionals and institutions. ECCCH provides collaboration tools while lowering barriers for smaller and more remote actors.
