Abstract

There has recently been interest within the HCI community concerning both current practices and digital tools for reminiscing. Several systems have been developed to trigger and/or capture reminiscence content, however very little is known about the overall process of reminiscing or been developed for an older healthy population. For my dissertation I have investigated when and how elderly individuals reminisce and am developing a prototype system that can enhance and maintain records of their reminiscing.
