On January 21st, the presentation of the European project KINETIKA took place in Ávila, an initiative focused on the preservation of dynamic cultural heritage through the use of advanced digital technologies, such as 4D digital twins, which allow diagnosing the state of conservation and predicting future damage to heritage assets with mechanical or moving components.
The KINETIKA project addresses the challenge of protecting so-called living heritage—such as historic clocks, organs, mills, and other elements with moving parts—by combining digitization, monitoring, and advanced simulation techniques. Its aim is to improve the long-term conservation of these assets and support decision-making in maintenance and restoration processes.
The TIDOP research group participates in the project through the University of Salamanca (USAL), contributing its experience in research and technological development in the field of digital twins, advanced modeling and data analysis applied to cultural heritage, within a multidisciplinary European consortium.
The presentation of the project has had a significant impact on the media, both regionally and locally, highlighting the role of the University of Salamanca and the TIDOP group in the digitization of European cultural heritage.
With projects like KINETIKA, the TIDOP group reinforces its commitment to technological innovation applied to cultural heritage, contributing to the development of digital solutions that promote its conservation and transmission to future generations.
