Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) marry the innovations of art and culture with the dissemination possibilities of commercialization and industry. Immersive technologies are an important CCI tool. However, they tend to be expensive and impractical. Based on both academic and industrial methods, the EU-funded Artcast4D project exploits conceptual and exploratory research, open-source software, and hardware advances to create ways to expedite European CCI. This approach facilitates the creation of less expensive, less invasive, interactive, and immersive systems. Artcast4D culminates in four bespoke pilots, uniting artists, industrial associates, and the public. These are supported by technical workshops designed for developers and artists. Ultimately, Artcast4D underpins strategies for bolstering CCI competition and inventiveness in the EU.
