V4Design

V4Design promotes the re-use of visual and textual content, such as documentaries, paintings and their critiques so as to be repurposed and reused for the inspiration of architecture and virtual reality game (VR) designing. Visual content analysis is performed through 3D reconstruction and modelling, localization of objects in visual data, automated extraction of aesthetics/style information and language understanding from visual and textual data. 3D objects are also enhanced with semantics and explanatory text descriptions.

V4Design will develop a platform that provides architects and virtual reality game designers with innovative tools necessary to enhance and simplify the creative phase of the designing process. More specifically, the project aims at reusing and combining (i) visual content from movies, documentaries paintings and images other artwork and (ii) textual content from textual documentations in films, critics, catalogues, museum guides, and re-purpose it in order to be used by architects and virtual reality game designers.
