Abstract
We designed and built a system for browsing digital content and activity data created and gathered with mobile phones. We evaluated the system with 13 users to study the value of the context-based visualizations in real life. In addition to supporting reminiscing, content aggregated on the map revealed life patterns supporting reflection. Aggregation of items from several people also revealed common interests among friends.
