  • Abstract
    This paper describes a new memory aid technique using wearable devices to augment human memory. The system utilizes videos and still images to effectively enforces memorization process for later recall. The goal of the system is to exploit infinite capacity of human memory by assisting memorization to expand a virtual memory space using video and images captured and annotated during interaction process to real-world information. We conducted a basic model experiment to demonstrate our idea. The result suggested that the optimized video replay composed based on the task segmentation aided memorization very intensely to successfully construct an effective memory space.
