Our role
Crow Group is the lead partner for the technological outputs of the project: VR, AR and a digital platform. In practice, we lead the work of turning the consortium's ideas into working immersive experiences and a platform, in step with the rest of the project.
The coordinator leads the project as a whole. Our part is the technology, and the way it is designed together with the people it is for. The project's full title says what it is about: art, disability and new immersive narratives. That makes accessibility a starting point for every technical decision, not a check at the end.
What happens first
The first months of a cooperation partnership are about getting the basics right: agreeing how the partners work together, planning the work in detail, and setting up the communication of the project. For the technical outputs, it is the time to agree what the experiences must do for their users before choosing devices and building anything.
We will publish news about the project when the consortium has agreed it. The project page has the key facts and will collect results as they become available.
Why this project matters to us
This is the kind of work we want to do more of in European cooperation: adult education, accessibility and immersive technology, designed with the people it is for. It brings our studio's experience with VR, AR and web platforms into an international consortium.
