ABSTRACT
Mobile technologies, like tablets, allow complete family picture collections to be accessed from anywhere on a single, portable device, but still do not support browsing and reminiscing from family pictures as one would from an album. This is especially a problem for older adults who are more motivated to share their memories, but often have less access to their physical pictures due smaller living spaces. Frame of Mind offers simple tablet interactions for family picture reminiscence. The app uses the implicit speech interaction of oral storytelling to automatically organize pictures into album-like sets from the prompted memories. Users can modify and filter the sets, but do not need to manually sort and organize their pictures. This simplifies the overall process of family picture interactions by leveraging one enjoyable aspect to automate a more effortful one.
