DAViDLab
LABORATÓRIO DE DIGITALIZAÇÃO E VISUALIZAÇÃO AVANÇADA DE DADOS (DAViDLab)
Description

Creation of a Laboratory for Digitization and Advanced Data Visualization (DAViD Lab), a unique infrastructure in the national and regional context, which falls under the priority of investment 1A - Competitiveness and Innovation of the Lisbon2030-2024-36 Call for Proposals. The DAViD Lab will allow the multidimensional identification of historical, cultural and scientific archives of high heritage value, promoting the preservation and accessibility of documents and objects. This infrastructure will be equipped with advanced digitisation and data curation technologies, including interactive and collaborative solutions based on digital tools and artificial intelligence.

Challenge

Creation of an integrated infrastructure that brings together advanced digitisation of collections, large-scale data processing and interactive visualisation, ensuring digital preservation, public accessibility and the scientific exploitation of complex data.

Approach
 

DAViD Lab is structured around a single three-pillar pipeline (digitisation, processing and visualisation), integrating 2D and 3D digitisation equipment, advanced computing and artificial intelligence techniques, and multimodal, immersive and collaborative visualisation environments, with both on-site and remote access.

 

Academic Research Impact

The infrastructure enables the development of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research, advances methodologies in visual analytics and human–computer interaction, and supports scientific output in national and international projects, fostering publications, international cooperation, and the attraction of researchers and students.

Economic and Societal Impact

The laboratory provides technological services to public and private organisations, generates spillovers for SMEs and creative industries, creates highly qualified jobs and strengthens regional innovation. In parallel, it democratises access to collections and advanced technologies, promoting digital inclusion and social return on investment.
