The project SMART HERITAGE starts from two different needs expressed on the portal Living Labs by theMunicipality of Specchia and by the -Euromediterranean Cultural Heritage Agency of Lecce, and therefore the model, was tested in two different contexts.
In the town of Specchia the project allowed the creation, of a “smart city“ with a wi-fi network infrastructure, providing multimedia services to visitors and citizens through NFC (Near Field Communication) smartphones and QR code, enabling users to connect physical world with the virtual one.
SMART HERITAGE, however, also comes from the needs expressed on Living Labs portal byEuromediterranean Cultural Heritage Agency to enhance, preserve and make accessible, through the use of ITC tools the great cultural and historical heritage preserved in the Monastery of St. John the Evangelist of Lecce.
