TNT - THE NEANDERTHALERS:
Transforming Representational Cultural Heritage into Digital Media Popular Scientific Content and Developing A Visual Simulation Engine for Collaborative Real-time Exploration

TNT is a combined RTD and demonstration project. It has technology, service and application strands.
TNT will develop advanced services and applications to improve access to Europe’s cultural heritage, namely to collections and artefacts of the Neanderthal species. In this way, it will increase the commercial value of parts of Europe’s cultural heritage. TNT will enhance user experience in cultural tourism, visualising scientific objects and artefacts and developing a new repository for intelligent heritage and tourism. New revenue streams for museums and digital content providers will be created. TNT will also provide high-bandwidth access to distributed and highly interactive repositories of European culture. Scientific collaboration among Europe’s top notch experts in the field of Neanderthal research will be improved.
