@inproceedings { , title = {MeMa: Designing the Memory Machine}, abstract = {The Memory Machine is an ambitious project that aims to develop a device to capture people's memories to create a blend of personal and factual data that builds identities, and contextualizes personal recollections. The Memory Machine has been guided by co-production and user-centred design principles to ensure users' input has a critical role in the development of the technology. Through a series of creative workshops, we facilitated participants to discuss and represent their perceptions of memory making and recollection, towards the design of the Memory Machine. This paper investigates how a creative, participatory process enabled technical topics to be explored together, as well as enabling the participants to address more challenging issues of memory; such as painful memories, memory loss, and memories at end-of-life, with a particular focus on dementia, to inform the future design of the Memory Machine.}, conference = {DIS '19: Designing Interactive Systems Conference 2019}, doi = {10.1145/3301019.3323882}, isbn = {9781450362702}, pages = {271--276}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/2223534}, keyword = {co-design, dementia, health, interface design, memories, recollection, togetherness, well-being}, year = {2019}, author = {Price, Dominic and Jacobs, Rachel and Darzentas, Dimitrios and Perez Vallejos, Elvira and Chadborn, Neil and Martindale, Sarah and Urquhart, Lachlan} }
