The European project MEMEX aims to develop artificial intelligence and augmented reality technologies capable of supporting the inclusion of people at risk of marginalisation, in a mobile application record (APP). This technology will enable vulnerable communities to tell their life stories, disseminating images, videos, maps and different cultural heritages and strengthening ties with the territories in which they are located. The IMVF joins this project as an associated entity of the social sector.
