Abstract

This paper presents the Memoria mobile interface, an application to share and access personal memories when visiting historical sites, museums or other points of interest. With the proposed interface people can navigate the memory space of the place they are visiting and, using their camera-phones or Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), view what has interested them or other people in past occasions. The system consists of a retrieval engine and a mobile user interface that allows capture and automatic annotation of images. Experimental results are presented to show the performance of the retrieval mechanisms and the usability of the interface.
