Abstract

The Reflexive Printer is a design example that we proposed to address the topic of technology-mediated reminiscence. In this demonstration, the system will randomly print out a picture from participants' photo albums on their smartphones as a halftone and single color image on thermal paper. Participants can recollect and view the original digital image by scanning a barcode on the printouts. This demonstration is designed to encourage three types of interactions: (1) exploration of personal memories, (2) interaction within a community, and (3) reflection on rumination. We look forward to hear about any interesting user experiences and creative usage of this lightweight printing of personal memories in a public social environment. Meanwhile, we will collect user feedback in order to inform our future development and social design of the Reflexive Printer.
