This paper presents a novel computational human memory
augmentation concept, Ubiquitous Memories, used to support everyday
information related activities. Memory aid architecture has been used to
annotate augmented video data as wearable information. We have developed a
prototype system, Ubiquitous Memories, composed of a head-mounted display, a
wearable camera and a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) device, which
attaches to an individual user, as well as a set of RFID tags and web
servers. These RFID tags are set on their corresponding real world objects. A
user might link a desired video data with a certain real world object by
means of a RFID tag on the object. We have adopted touching as the natural
operation of the system. Two experiments have been conducted to evaluate the
effectiveness of the system and the results have shown that this system
effectively supports memory recollection of past events.
