Abstract

In this paper, we discuss wearable interfaces for acomputational memory-aid useful in everyday life. Theaim of this study is to develop a Video Diary systemwith vision interfaces to aid in memory retrieval.The Video Diary system provides users with "MemoryRetrieval, Exchange, and Transportation" throughfour types of indexes: 1) through the user's location,2) through real world object(s), 3) through keyword(s)and 4) through the use of a summary or "the storyof the day." The authors have developed the followingtwo systems to achieve the above indexes: 1) a ResidualMemory system, 2) a Ubiquitous Memories system.Residual Memory can index a user's location automaticallyby analyzing a video recorded from a wearablecamera for "Memory Retrieval." Ubiquitous Memoriesprovides users with the ability to associate augmentedmemories with real world objects for "MemoryExchange." We have integrated the above two systemsfor "Memory Transportation." We believe thatthe above interfaces can be integrated into the VideoDiary system.
