Project description
Smartphones can help build social cohesion
The future of our cultural heritage is augmented thanks to inclusive digital storytelling tools. Memories will be intertwined with physical places, locations and objects to promote social cohesion. This is the aim of the EU-funded MEMEX project. It will create assisted augmented reality experiences in the form of stories that intertwine the memories of participating communities. It will develop techniques to (semi-)automatically link images to location and connect to a new open-source knowledge graph that will facilitate assisted storytelling. MEMEX will focus on Barcelona's migrant women. It will also throw the spotlight on residents in Paris' XIX district (home to one of the city's largest immigrant communities) and on second- and third-generation Portuguese migrants in Lisbon.
