Kurios: A Web App for Saving and Sharing Audio Memories with Physical Objects

Published:13 July 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

Kurios is a smartphone web application for saving and sharing audio stories embedded in physical objects. People can use Kurios to preserve their memories sparked by family photos, heirlooms, travel souvenirs, and trophies into the objects themselves. By creating this easily accessed semantic platform, the project seeks to not only preserve past stories but also promote the bonds and sense of community that come with storytelling itself.
