This paper presents a reference architecture for integrating AI-driven virtual humans into the Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) sector.
A proof-of-concept built in Unreal Engine 5 demonstrates how a metahuman curator can narrate, teach, and interact with digitized art — a glimpse into how cultural institutions may evolve into smart, participatory ecosystems.

Europeana’s EUreka3D is reconstructing Europe’s cultural legacy in 3D and making it interoperable across institutions.
By merging archives, models, and metadata, it’s turning scattered memory into a shared spatial archive, usable for research, education, and public storytelling.

🎶 Digital meets classical
The Richard Wagner Museum Bayreuth now features an interactive conductors’ gallery, honoring all festival directors since 1876.
Hof University’s research group Interaction & Data Driven Design developed the platform & hardware — bringing music history to life through digital innovation. ✨

It was a pleasure to present at Digital Heritage 2025 conference in Siena the results of the Mini-Muse research project — a preliminary study that combines #NLP algorithms and #DataVisualization to enhance access to digitized publications on history. The research team includes Fabio Rinaldi and Joseph Cornelius. The project was made in partnership with ETH-Bibliothek.

📍Pittsburgh’s history… through its cemeteries?
On #ACast750, @janepitt joined @sorgatron and @profpod to discuss how the PastFinders App could bring places like Allegheny Cemetery to life with narrated grave tours and curated walking routes.

Also I am interested to see how the data from @chpollin might fit in 😀, since I also used data from the @cvmadeutschland for this prototype for an #objectbiography of #stainedglass. This is still work in progress obviously and only a start and will be filled with more content but it was fun to work with data and a real use case again.

Did you know one of the most surprising and lesser-known facts about the early internet is the 'Purple Book'? 📘 Written by @JonPostel, this collection of memos documented the first domain name system (DNS) protocols. What started as informal notes became the foundation for modern systems like @ICANN! 🌐 Its principles, like collaborative documentation and standardization, remain alive in today's internet. #TechHistory #InternetOrigins #DNS #TechLegends #DigitalHeritage #PurpleBook (1/1)
Obviously I got quite a lot of stickers already but some consortia are still missing and I am running out of space 😎🤫. #nfdirocks #NFDI #digitalheritage #CoRDI2025

Von Daten zu Denkmälern: Kulturerbe digital gedacht
Wie können digitale Technologien wie 3D-Scanning, XR oder KI dabei helfen, gefährdetes Kulturerbe zu bewahren, zugänglich zu machen und neu zu erzählen?
Darum geht es im interdisziplinären Workshop „Digitalization of Cultural Heritage“ von Prof. Christina B. Class im Rahmen des #InformatikFestival2025.
📆 19. September 2025
📍Griebnitzsee (Universität Potsdam / HPI)

The study critically analyzes perceptions, adoption stages, and innovation decisions around Big Data in the cultural sector, identifies current gaps, and calls for renewed capacity building and best practice sharing.
No formal guidelines exist yet — but the study lays out a conceptual framework and offers actionable recommendations.
