*chosen experience *
our chosen tangible resonances focus on analogue film photography and journaling. the process of capturing and developing a photograph is very delicate, yet powerful, in that it represents a frozen moment in time.
how might we capture thoughts, emotions, memories, abstract intangible ideas in a similar method to capturing a photograph to empower young adults forming new self-narrative more playfully and immersively?
[ afterlight ] provides users with a poetic and playful interactive approach to journaling by capturing their feelings into a roll of film and allowing the opportunity to mix and match them, engineering a nonlinear narrative that dives either into their future or past.
core features
voice input to capture thoughts, emotions, memories
machine learning algorithm to identify context and tone
analyze, tag, and edit voice input in a customizable way
interactive memory film development and storage
memory playground, a space where users can explore, re-experience, mix and match their previous entries
nonlinear narrative engineering
ambient soundscape capturing to amplify immersion
features justification
voice input allows for ease and accessibility
machine learning algorithm assists in memory input identification
memory film is a digitized reimplementation of tangible photography
memory playground is a fun and interactive format for users to explore and reorganize their memories
nonlinear narrative engineering allows users to experience possible outcomes in the past and future
ambient soundscapes captured by the user are reapplied to their memories
ai usage
ai was only utilised for early brainstorming and organisation for this project.
question
what if user could experience an ephemeral way to capture, store, and re-engineer their memories to form alternative self-narrative?
