ARcient Music Exhibition
The ARcient Music Exhibition project aims to develop an AR exhibition, featuring the majority of artifacts exhibited at the SEIKILO Museum — A Unique Exhibition of Ancient Musical Instruments. This initiative will transform SEIKILO’s offerings into an accessible, sustainable, and innovative tourism product.
Objectives:
- Analyze and prepare a fully interactive AR environment.
- Design and develop the AR Pocket Exhibition App, enabling users to explore the museum’s content in their own space and time.
- Communicate the project’s results, conduct thorough testing, and provide operational insights to optimize visitor experiences.
The project is funded by the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA).
Co-funded by the EU
Reconstructing ancient and early musical instruments with 3d technologies
SEIKILO Museum has successfully implemented the research project entitled “Reconstructing ancient and early musical instruments with 3d technologies” (Duration: 01/2021-06/2024), with the use of rapid prototyping and reverse engineering methods. Furthermore, a bilingual state-of-the-art interactive educational material (Greek and English) was developed for mobile devices (smartphones/tablets with Android and iOS), using Augmented and Virtual Reality technology, 3d representation of the musical instruments, modern recordings of ancient musical pieces that survive to this day, along with educational videos (including teaching ancient musical instruments).
The project was run under the Action “Investment Plans of Innovation” (Operational Program “Central Macedonia 2021-2027”), co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
