Abstract

Motivation -- This research work aims to exploit the opportunity of Tangible User Interface for improving recollection of memories using personal objects. Research approach -- The project follows an approach which integrates two different perspectives: user-centred and technology-oriented. They take place in parallel informing each other during the process. Findings/Design -- Connection of digital resources with physical objects while travelling improves the recollection of travel experiences and the sharing of these memories. Research limitations/Implications -- Findings have not yet been applied to a more complex scenario in which many users interact with the system and exchange information while travelling. Originality/Value -- This work contributes to the research on Tangible User Interface and on mobile technology for tourism.
