With over 50 participants on site and a equal number of attendees online, EUreka3D-XR organizes a Capacity Building and demonstration event. The demonstration comes at a moment when the project’s progress in the development of tools and pilot scenarios has become both visible and significant, offering tangible insights into how 3D and XR technologies can serve the cultural heritage sector.

29 January 2026, 9.30 – 18.00h (CET)
In Girona and Online
Venue: El Modern, Girona

Cultural Heritage professionals, archivists, researchers, and students of these fields are invited to an open event showcasing the outcomes of the project and mainly focusing on the innovative tools developed to enhance access and engagement with digital cultural heritage through 3D and Extended Reality (XR) technologies.

The day is divided into two parts: a morning hybrid session, focused on demonstrations of the EUreka3D-XR tools and discussion on pilot scenarios; and an afternoon on-site workshop, dedicated to archivists and focused on hands-on experimentation with one of the project’s tools.
