Abstract

Lifelogging is the capture and storage of everyday experiences and the act of reviewing lifelog data can significantly support episodic memory, which is particularly vulnerable to the effects of ageing. To design an accessible lifelogging application for older users we firstly need to explore what lifelogging features the application should include. We carried out a questionnaire study to investigate what lifelogging items people from different age groups are currently collecting. Also of interest to us was what items the participants would like to collect and the differences in lifelogging choices between age groups. The results from this questionnaire will contribute to the design of a lifelogging application which focuses on older users' preferences, motivations and abilities.
