AI BriefingHow Projekt Kalwaria Uses ElevenLabs to Preserve History
Key point
Poland's nonprofit Projekt Kalwaria is using ElevenLabs' AI technology to digitally restore a destroyed historical site and provide multilingual narration.
Details
Poland's nonprofit Projekt Kalwaria is digitally reconstructing the Ujście Calvary site, which was destroyed during World War II. They digitized over 300 historical documents and used 3D modeling to precisely restore the site's terrain and architecture.
The restored site has been reborn as videos featuring vivid narration through ElevenLabs' Text to Speech (TTS) technology. By leveraging AI technology, they achieved the following efficiencies:
- Multilingual support: Simultaneously produced Polish, English, and German versions from a single script without hiring separate voice actors, increasing accessibility for a global audience
- Production efficiency: Enabled a small volunteer team to create studio-quality immersive content
- Technology combination: Animated old photographs with AI video technology and composed background music with Eleven Music to maximize immersion
Going forward, they plan to provide location-based narration to on-site visitors through a mobile app, and to implement a virtual walk feature with spatial audio in a VR (virtual reality) environment.
