چکیده
This paper presents an online tool that offers designers, artists and all creative people, the possibility of exploring and accessing Europeana in a funny, playful and intuitive way. By using the webcam to take a photo of any object or texture, users can invoke the Culture Cam tool for accessing a set of images that are similar in color, shape or pattern. It is used to stimulate the inspiration of creative designers by diving into common cultural heritage and providing access to beautiful content available to be used as source for new derivative designs and art artefacts. The collection of items used by Culture Cam are accessible under public domain licence.
