Interest in the use of mobile technologies is emerging internationally in different areas of application. This research presents, through the simulation of a case study, a methodology in the field of Augmented Reality (AR) which, addressing the multicultural community, aims to promote intercultural integration and the facilitation of communication between generations, making use of relatively simple mobile technologies which are available to everyone.
