Abstract
The recent rise of lifelogging technologies and wearable computing gadgets lets us create comprehensive records of our daily lives. Data collected by wearable sensors is often cumbersome to access and poorly presented. To make such digital personal data accessible, the authors propose a system of memory displays that aim to support human memory. This article reports on a series of explorative studies designed to understand the requirements for peripheral memory displays deployed in people's homes and the displays' utility as memory aids. Thereby, the authors explore different display locations, content types, presentation modalities, and two memory-support approaches: priming and retrospective information summaries. Based on initial findings from an online survey, student design task, and explorative system deployment, they discuss different design parameters and the feasibility of memory displays.
