T5.1: Definition and design of advanced MusicSphere tools architecture (Lead: CERTH; Contributors: All; [M04-M12]) – This task will define the specifications of the separate tools and toolkits that will be developed in the context of MusicSphere. More specific, this task will focus on the design and on architecture of the following toolkits (TKs): TK1, TK2, TK3, TK6, TK7, TK8, and TK9, taking into account the input by the end-users, the challenges, and the regulations from WP2, WP3, and the available libraries from the ECCCH infrastructure. The methodologies that will be applied are M1.2.1.1, M1.2.1.2, M1.2.1.3 and M1.2.1.5 Moreover, early or mature knowledge and best practices from relevant and ongoing projects will be considered for adoption. (Output: D5.1).

T5.2: Basic toolkits for dynamic digitisation in acoustics and musical CH (Lead: IHU; Contributors: UMA, FH, TUIL, BEN#7, SCHUM, LUTHI; [M07-M18]) – This task focuses on the development of the first versions for TK1, TK2, and TK3. The methodologies that will be applied are M1.2.1.1, M1.2.1.2 and M1.2.1.3. More specific, the task involves the development of foundational tools and frameworks to capture and process acoustic data and material properties of musical artifacts in real-time or near real-time. These toolkits aim to ensure high fidelity in the digitization of acoustic profiles and physical characteristics, enabling dynamic updates to reflect changes over time. The task integrates acoustic profiling techniques, monitoring tools, and cross-modal data integration to combine diverse datasets, such as visual, acoustic, and structural data. (Output: D5.2).

T5.3: Basic toolkits for monitoring the evolution of musical CH (Lead: FH; Contributors: IHU, UMA, TUIL, BEN#7, SCHUM, LUTHI; [M07-M18]) – This task focuses on the development of the first versions for TK4 and TK5. The methodologies that will be applied are M1.2.1.4 and M1.2.1.5. More specific, the task will create essential tools for tracking and analysing the physical and acoustic changes that occur in musical artifacts over time. These toolkits are designed to monitor the condition, material degradation, and acoustic performance of cultural heritage objects, ensuring their preservation. Key elements include the development of monitoring systems that assess wear and tear, environmental effects, and deterioration, and predictive modelling techniques that anticipate future changes in the artifacts’ conditions and acoustics. (Output: D5.2).

T5.4: Basic toolkits for improved interaction in acoustics and musical CH (Lead: CERTH; Contributors: All; [M07-M18]) – This task focuses on the development of the first versions for TK6, TK7, TK8 and TK9. The methodologies that will be applied are M1.2.1.7 and M1.2.1.8. More specific, the task will develop foundational tools to enhance user interaction with musical heritage in both physical and virtual spaces. These tools aim to facilitate intuitive engagement through immersive experiences, integrating acoustic and visual elements to bring historical instruments and environments to life. Key components include the development of interactive systems that dynamically respond to user input, leveraging augmented and virtual reality (XR) technologies for exploration of virtual reconstructions. Cross-modal data integration ensures seamless interaction across sensory modalities, enriching the experience. These basic toolkits will form the foundation of more advanced systems, where AI-driven processes enhance the usability and accessibility of musical cultural heritage, enabling more engaging, educational, and immersive interactions for both the public and researchers.
