4D CULTURAL
About 4D CULTURE Project
The 4D CULTURE is a transnational and Erasmus + project which introduces an online portal used for the purposes of education, information and entertainment. This project will be addressed to fashion designers, textile engineers, professional dancers and students, scholars of Europe’s recent history, and, also, to people of all ages who are interested in all these fields as amateurs. It is focused on building a virtual portal by providing a realistic visualization of ethnographic and folklore issues. The most innovative aspect of the project will be carried out by the virtual reality performance of certain traditional dances, digitally represented and placed within the digital representation of the selected region.
Aim of the Project
4D CULTURE project aims to:
- Exceed the current methods of online teaching by making actual use of the V.R.Ε.’s advantages.
- Aggregate state-of-the art knowledge and compile it in the form of a folkorpedia.
- Train and certify multi background learners via a practical and memorable experience.
- Offer new opportunities for self-paced and informal learning via the open access platform created by the project.
