MIRACLE is a two-year research project by University of Turku, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, University of Tampere, and University of Helsinki. There are a number of project partners from public organizations as well as private enterprises. MIRACLE is based on research done in the Futuristic History<\/a> project during 2013 & 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museums and other culture-related attractions are competing fiercely about people’s time with everything else, so they must offer appealing and individual experiences to draw people’s attention. Mixed reality is one possible means of doing that, but the cost of building good applications is often too high. The MIRACLE vision is to find cost-efficient ways to create attractive mixed reality applications for cultural travel and out-of-classroom learning, by multi-disciplinary teams and in co-operation with local businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the tourist sites as well as other local businesses are expected to benefit from growing number of visitors. New businesses will emerge that can sell their expertise and products to tourist attractions worldwide. Learning experiences will be developed that are expected to be more efficient and enjoyable than traditional methods. Mixed reality also offers ways for handicapped visitors to access locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will be executed through demonstrator applications for a number of pilot cases.  As its final output, the project collects knowledge into a toolkit and a handbook that define the recipe for efficiently and economically developing attractive applications and running businesses around them. The toolkit contains elements for actually developing the applications, while the handbook is intended to help humanists, engineers and business professionals better understand each other\u2019s needs and vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
