SenseCam: A Retrospective Memory Aid

Overview This paper presents a novel ubiquitous computing device, the SenseCam, a sensor augmented wearable stills camera. SenseCam is designed to capture a digital record of the wearer's day, by recording a series of images and capturing a log of sensor data. The authors believe that reviewing this information will help the wearer recollect aspects of earlier experiences that have subsequently been forgotten, and thereby form a powerful retrospective memory aid. This paper reviews existing work on memory aids and conclude that there is scope for an improved device. The paper then reports on the design of SenseCam in some detail for the first time.
