The International Augmented Med (I AM) project is an international cooperation project involving fourteen partner organisations in seven countries around the Mediterranean Sea. It is funded by the 2007-2013 ENPI CBC Mediterranean Sea Basin Programme. The 14 partners exchange expertise, support each other with technical assistance and develop joint activities to provide innovative services to the tourism sector in each of their countries. By supporting this key sector, they will assist economic development in the region.

The I AM project aims to establish a self-sustaining cross-sector cooperation network (linking experts in IT/multimedia and tourism promotion) which will develop innovative services for the enhancement of natural and cultural heritage sites. By doing so it aims to encourage a better geographical and seasonal spread of tourism arrivals and income thanks to the diversification of tourism products and tourism locations.

The innovative services consist in the application to a number of heritage sites of a variety of multimedia techniques in the field of Augmented Reality (overlaying virtual, digital elements on reality), including advanced interactive techniques. www.iam-project.eu/
