Scientific Coordinator

Objectives and contents

Opera is one of the most important expressions of Italian cultural identity and heritage. The potential of digital technology to support the experience of Opera and help create more engaged relationships with both existing and new audiences represents a major opportunity for Opera Houses. However, Italian Opera is an eminently complex performative experience involving a repertoire of multimodal resources, thus posing severe challenges and requirements for its enhancement through latest technologies and devices. The project aims at advancing the state of the art of application of Augmented Reality (AR) technology to enhance and innovate the Opera service experience. Its purpose is to develop a wearable AR application for Digital Opera as a tool to facilitate and enhance the audience’s experience of this universal form of art.
