Cross Motion

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Baltic Sea

Date of latest update: 2023-11-02

Description

Description (EN):

The project objective is to build on the advancements of digital technologies and the potential of convergence between digital audio-visual content production industries, such as film and videogames and the education, tourism and health sectors. Techniques of audio-visual, interactive, participatory and multiplatform storytelling and forms of gamification can be used in service of the three sectors. There is a momentum for such inter-sector cooperation to open up the rapidly evolving avenue of ‘crossinnovation’. Such innovation processes are facilitating the emergence of new markets that could then enable scalable growth for innovating small and medium sized enterprises (SME) or convergent new start-ups, new revenue streams for digital audio visual industries and new cost effective and socially valuable solutions for health, education and tourism sectors. The project is initiated as despite the potential there is currently no frameworks that would enable these sectors to effectively cooperate in the BSR. Further, regarding the specific sectors, while there are undoubted strongholds in the region, their evolution has been geographically disproportionate – some sectors are stronger in some countries, presenting a case for a transnational approach. The project consortium, therefore, consists of partnering institutions from nine countries that all hold complementary expertise to contribute in order to approach the challenge from different angles and to develop a variety of responses to it. The majority of Cross Motion partners are different kinds of cluster organisations and incubators focusing, in aggregate, on digital media industries and facilitating start-up culture in this broad sector. Relatedly, one of the main aims of Cross Motion is to establish an inter cluster network between the partners that would enable the endurance of the work started by Cross Motion after the project has ended. The project will also facilitate the parallel international networking practices between the SMEs innovating in this convergent area. It will also raise awareness among the region’s relevant industries by organising a series of high visibility conferences, hackathons and networking events where the project aims to showcase the best practices, success stories and promote cooperation across a variety of borders. To further drive cross innovations in chosen areas the project will procure the production of innovative prototypes that could be used to showcase the associated opportunities for all parties. Lastly, it will conduct rigorous evidence based research to enable informed decisions at all stages of the project, to learn from its execution and to further enable higher awareness on the nature of cross innovation potentials among our sectoral target groups as well as among innovation policy makers in the region.

Achievements (EN):

Cooperation that helps cross-innovate: Through their engaging events, the Interreg project CM has reached more than 500 enterprises in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden from audio-visual and gaming industries as well as tourism, healthcare and education sectors, to introduce them to the benefits of cross-innovation. Several hackathons enabled programmers, graphic designers and project managers to meet experts from the tourism, healthcare and education sectors and understand their needs better. New market possibilities were picked up by the audio-visual and gaming industry, which teamed up with selected enterprises and developed prototypes of, for example, audio-visual gamified e-learning, gamified screen tourism applications, transmedia games that encourage healthy lifestyles or can be used in, for example, physiotherapy. 20 practical examples of cross-sectoral innovation: All in all, 20 prototypes of digital products were developed in the project framework, showcasing the cross-sectoral cooperation in practice. VR Clinic, one of the prototypes, went to test phase in Danish hospitals. The application enables medical students to train in a virtual reality environment before treating real patients. It simulates the physical examination of a patient, i.e. the students listen to the heart and lungs, check the pulse and blood samples. The screen time assistant Hoopy protects kids from excessive screen time and keeps the balance between valuable and entertaining activities. Parents can control their children’s screen time with it. The application is available for Android and iOS and marketed in Estonia since August 2018 by Finland’s largest mobile phone operator. Another prototype, Old Narva, is also available for iOS for download. It makes use of photo archives for touristic purposes: it offers an augmented reality experience where one can walk around the town square and see the virtually reconstructed facades on a smart phone screen. This app won a GLAMi Award at Museums & the Web 2019 in Boston. Networking is the value: CM triggered cooperation within and across sectors by initiating several networks, for example a network of immersive reality XR industry, gamers community, research organisations and individuals from Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden. Another network, Start North , brings together young talents, enterprises, NGOs, cities, universities, incubators in order to co-create meaningful things and learn from each other. Several groups operate on the LinkedIn platform, such as a screen tourism network or a cross-sector network for the digital visual industry and tourism sector, based on the networking event “Stories of the West Coast”. Thanks to EUR 2.06 million support from the European Union, the Interreg project CM brought together audio-visual and gaming enterprises, universities and business accelerators to work on digital products for healthcare, tourism and education. In this way, Interreg helped increase competitiveness of the Baltic Sea region audio-visual and gaming industry and pushed healthcare, tourism and education towards applying innovative solutions. http://interreg-baltic.eu/project/cm/
