Sharing Digital Memories with Real Objects
2013 Graduation Design Report Po-Hao Wang Hsung-Chieh Li
MOTIVATION Through photo taking, film shooting, sound recording, we hope to keep the precious moment in our lives, hope we won't forget those which belong to us in our life journey, and better to be vivid in our mind. Touching human psychology and behaving, we're interested in learning from it, and also how we can apply it in a design, through combining technologies, and the imagination of the near future we have.
PROBLEM FINDING 1. Lots of our memory are store in computers now in forms as digital photos, films, sound records. Is there a better way to review those memories? 2. How can a person share the story, the emotion bondage to the souvenirs which is significant to him/herself?

RESEARCH INTERVIEW Through interviews, we hope to understand how people recall memories and their feelings while recalling it, seeking out deeper demands on memory reviewing and the chances where we, as designers, can provide a better solution. Outline： 1. Ask the user to bring the most memorable object and share the story of it. 2. Where does this object usually be placed? 3. How often do you recall memories through this object? 4. How do you usually record you memories? 5. Is there any statement or proposition you want to make while recording? 6. What do you usually do when you are in a bad mood? in a good mood? 7. When is the last time you share memories with others? 8. In what kind of situation you share the memories? and in what kind of mood? - She wants to tell the others where she is now when she is in a special location - She will write down the location on the photos, in case she forgot where they were taken. - She likes to take photos with people in it. - The photo of the midnight sun is meaningful to her, despite we seen it as a usual photo of sunset. - Post cards made her think of the smell and taste of the food. - Many memories are emotional. - Journal： (1)：drawing + words (She think it is inconvenient to use photos.) (2)：She record both good and bad mood. - Beautiful photos are more likely to recall to her. - What strikes her is the experience, not the photos. - She will watch those photos when she is bored. - She wanted to record many people, even if they were just a small part of the journey.
RESEARCH JOURNAL We write down more detail when we try to record something like photos , pictures, words ,sound ,video, etc. recording contentďźš ďź‘. date and time 2. location 3. companion 4. recoring tools 5. motivation 6. mood 7. recording outcome - People would likely to do certain movement in some special location. - Photographer seldom appear in photos. - We hope everybody is in the photo. - Instead of recoding the whole event, sometimes we want to record the at - Sometimes people record for the oringinal infomation without any emotion. - Recording outcomes can be seen as an proof. - virtual recording elements :massive recrding/ easy to share / easy for after production - tangible recording elements : more emtional/touchable/more possible to be treasured/can decorate environment/unique - Polaroid photos can draw and write on it easily - Sometime it is good to be unexpected. - We do not know if the person we aks to take photos is good at photography or not.
