CERARE is an online platform, specifically designed to support the production of "storytelling" ceramic products. The platform offers the chance to ceramists to enhance their products with comprehensible information in an interactive and engaging new way. Collaborating with storytellers, authors, curators, translators, voice actors and exploiting Augmented Reality (AR), the ceramists through easy to use interfaces are able to develop enhanced products with added value, which will help them communicate the stories behind these items, contributing to innovation and creativity in the field of culture.
