Virtual Museum Infrastructure and Toolkit

The Virtual Museum Infrastructure and Toolkit, makes it easy to create virtual museums, provides an exemplar virtual museum, CINEGATE and provides a public location for CINE’s digital outputs. The VMI supports the creation of virtual museums. It helps build capacity for the promotion of natural and cultural heritage and removes barriers to digital curation empowering communities to promote their cultural and natural heritage in installations, on the web, and through mobile platforms. The VMI provides support for content creation, ingestion, archival and curation. In doing so enables the curation of augmented, cross and mixed reality applications. An instance of the VMW2 CINEGATE provides a platform that helped the creation and dissemination of digital outputs across workpackages. The toolkit links technology developed in all the workpackages to create a cohesive output that addressed the projects aims and challenges.
