Popis: | People have an inherent need to capture and collect life memories such as moments with children or special events with friends. Capturing life memories is either spontaneous or planned. Memories are stored and frequently shared with other people. New internet services allow online sharing of photographs but they bypass the mobile aspect in capturing and sharing multimedia. In this paper, we present a concept mobile application for capturing and sharing memories while mobile and the user research studies that supported its design. Our aim was to design a prototype application that would enable mobile users to capture and share precious moments. Various categorizations of user behaviors related to personal media management emerged out of our user needs studies. We then followed a user-centered design process according to Contextual Design. The user evaluation of the resulted paper prototype showed that users appreciate the event based, instant sharing within particular groups of people. |
