The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) Centre for Memory Studies has launched a 'MovingMemory' app, which uses Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality to capture various memory models through digital reconstruction. The app is accessible through mobile apps and browser-based platforms, making it unique and inclusive. Users can select avatars and navigate through three-dimensional spaces, embedded with video, audio, 3D images, and interactive elements. This app can be used for sustainable and heritage-oriented pedagogic and research approaches.

The 'MovingMemory' initiative was launched during the second annual Indian Network for Memory Studies conference titled 'Memory, Ecology, and Sustainability', held from 20th to 22nd September 2023. The conference aimed to emphasize the importance of incorporating collective memory in understanding and anticipating policies related to ecological issues like climate change. The conference featured over 100 presenting and over 500 non-presenting participants from India, the USA, UK, Germany, New Zealand, Morocco, Canada, Sweden, and Bangladesh. The conference aimed to examine various human-centric technologies and policies promoting cultural memory and sustainable development goals in India and globally. Conference coordinator Dr. Avishek Parui emphasized the conference's unique focus on bridging technology studies and humanities to offer a more complex model of engaging with memory, ecology, and sustainability, while also connecting to issues such as disaster studies, anticipatory governance, and durability. The conference aimed to connect rituals of remembering and experiencing the environment to systems of sustainability, which assume material, cultural, and technological dimensions through big events like disasters and floods and slow processes of change.
