WAHM @ UbiComp 2014

Workshop on Ubiquitous Technologies for Augmenting the Human Mind @ UbiComp

Ubiquitous sensing allows to record any moment of our lives. These moments can be restored and used to create radically new ways of aiding human memory. The goal with memory aids is: recalling what matters. This implies retrieving relevant information at the right time to the right extent. We are looking for visions and research projects that aim to re-think and re-define the notion of memory augmentation. The goal is to combine technological innovations in ubiquitous computing with basic research questions in memory psychology, thereby elevating memory augmentation technologies from niche applications to to a to a mainstream technology.
