Abstract

The WayMarkr system turns a mobile device into a self-documenting wearable device with virtually unlimited disk space. WayMarkr uses a mobile device's camera to take continuous photographs from the vantage point of the wearer. The ubiquity of mobile devices makes WayMarkr unobtrusive, and the first image based Memex device widely available to the general public. Collected photographs create a personal narrative as a set collected in context. Captured photographic narratives give users perspective, insight, and an alternative access to memory recollection of their daily lives.
