They say:
As more and more media become digital (whether these be photos, videos /audio snippets, or even olfactory or haptic cues), new ways of cueing our memory are emerging. These will support, enhance, or possibly even undermine the way we remember our experiences. The growing importance of this research area is indicated by “Memories for Life”, one of the seven grand challenges identified by the UK Computing Research Committee, and by ambitious research programs at Microsoft Research, supporting “Digital Memories (Memex)”, and projects such as MyLifeBits and SenseCam.
The focus of this special issue, Designing for Personal Memories, is on ordinary people using digital media to help them remember in everyday situations. This could mean developing interactive systems or services for supporting, enhancing or extending personal memories, but also studies that inform the design of these systems. Contributions could come from diverse fields, such as HCI, psychology, sociology, interaction design, engineering, computer science, design, material culture, etc.Link to call on Usability News site.
