Abstract

Being socially integrated and connected with loved ones is an important factor, especially for people living over a spatial distance. Modern communication technologies, like messengers or social networks, enable people to exchange experiences continuously. However, these technologies exclude some groups, that are not familiar with the use of such services and devices. We present and discuss requirements from interviews and a focus group for a device to engage users in an easy content creation and sharing. Based on our findings, we designed StoryBox, an early prototype that eases the way people can share experiences, memories and moods using visual stories. Further we discuss our future research agenda related to sharing visual stories and present a study design to evaluate our prototype in a two step field evaluation.
