At “eCulture Horizons” (From Digitisation to Creating Cultural Experiences) event in Salzburg, Giunti Interactive Labs presents new achievements from its RD Project "SculptEUR", bringing the power of 3d Content Harvesting and Virtual Reality reconstruction to the World of standard eLearning Authoring.

Salzburg 21/09/2004.

Giunti Interactive Labs (short name Giunti Labs, www.giuntilabs.com http://www.giuntilabs.com/ ), Europe’s leading eLearning R&D and Standardisation actor and developer of learn eXact (www.learnexact.com http://www.learnexact.com/ ), world's leading LCMS Technology, is pleased to announce that at the next eCulture Horizons Symposium (From Digitisation to Creating Cultural Experiences, 27-28 September 2004 University of Salzburg, Austria), it will present new achievements from its flagship R&D Project SCULPTEUR (www.sculpteurweb.org http://www.sculpteurweb.org/ ).

With a Consortium of 10 international partners from the UK, France and Italy and grouping leading European Museums such as The National Gallery, Gli Uffizi, Le Louvre, The Victoria & Albert Museum and the Cherbourg Museum, the SCULPTEUR Project addresses usage of new eContent technologies (e.g Web Services and XML) and Interoperability Standards (e.g. Z39.50 from the US Library of Congress, for Digital Libraries and the Shareable Content Objects Reusable Model, SCORM , from NATO, for eLearning) to automate distributed access to relevant cultural archives available in Museum & Libraries by means of easy 2d and 3d sample based querying and the authoring of Virtual Reality Worlds, named SCO Worlds(c).

With an undoubt attraction for Museum based Education and Teaching, the new Toolset (to be released within Q4 as a learn eXact plug in, named eXact VR), able to recreate immersive digital environments easily deployable on any standard eLearning platform (also with adaptive and rule based navigation through different rooms and environments as supported by the new SCORM 2004 specification) is proving of great interest also in other market sectors such as Industrial Maintenance Training , Vocational Learning and Medical Education willing to bring the visualisation of standard eLearning contents to the next stage using immersive simualtions and VR.
