Preserving Musical Heritage Through Immersive Technologies with Eleftherios Anastasovitis

In today's episode, we are honored to be joined by Dr. Eleftherios Anastasovitis, a researcher at the Center for Research and Technology Hellas, and the Project Manager and Coordinator of the MusicSphere. Together, we will explore how immersive technologies are bringing ancient and historical instruments like the Hydraulis and church organs back to life, and what the future holds for making musical cultural heritage more accessible, interactive, and engaging for professionals and the public alike. The discussion highlights the transformative potential of XR and immersive technologies in digitizing, simulating, and reviving musical cultural heritage and how tools developed within the MusicSphere project can serve heritage professionals, artists, and the creative industries while emphasizing the principles of open science, democratized access, and collaboration across EU-funded initiatives.
