We describe the design and deployment of Olly, a domestic music player that enables people to re-experience digital they listened in past. Olly uses its owner's Last.FM listening history metadata archive occasionally select song from their past, but offers no user control over what is selected or when. deployed 3 homes for 15 months explore how slow pace might support experiences reflection reminiscence. Findings revealed became highly integrated participants lives with sustained engagement...
As the practice of hiking becomes increasingly captured through personal data, it is timely to consider what kinds alternative data encounters might support forms noticing and connecting nature as well one's self life history over time. To investigate this emerging design space, we designed Capra — a system that brings together capture, storage, exploration with an emphasis on longer-term, occasional yet indefinite use. Over four years, our team adopted designer-researcher approach where...
With the massive proliferation of digital photos, new approaches are needed to enable people engage with their vast photo archives over time. We describe Research through Design process Chronoscope, a domestic technology that leverages temporal metadata embedded in photos as resource encourage more temporally diverse, rich, and open-ended experiences when re-visiting one's personal archive. unpack reflect on design choices made use support ways interacting across conclude opportunities for...
We describe a long-term field study of Olo Radio, music player that lets people re-experience digital they have listened to previously. Radio offers different 'timeframe modes' for organizing one's personal listening history data, and exploring possible connections among songs across time. deployed 5 Radios in households 8 months understand participants' experiences over Our goals are to: (i) investigate the reflective potentialities data memory- oriented (ii) empirically explore conceptual...
With the massive proliferation of digital photos, new approaches are needed to enable people engage with their vast photo archives over time and into future. Our demo will feature Chronoscope - an interactive near-eye viewer ('scope') that uses temporal metadata embedded in photos as a design material encourage curious temporally diverse explorations one's personal archive. users experience alternative ways engaging large archive emphasizes interactions through across rich, open-ended...
