Reshape Memories

By Shengwen LIN, Xiaoyun XIAOYUN WANG

This is nothing new: we take a lot of photos every day, many of which we never look at again and just forget in our phones’ storage. So what is the point of having these photos? How should we use them? In this interaction design diploma project, we have explored possible solutions so that forgotten photos can be seen again, and may even bring people surprises and new value.

In terms of the title, “Reshape Memories”, the word “memories” has a double meaning. On one hand, memories are not absolutely accurate; they can be reinterpreted and given new meanings. When we look back at a photo, we are constantly making associations in our brains to reinterpret a memory. On the other hand, our final concept is inspired by
the “Memories” feature of today’s smartphone albums, which brings photos that may be important back to users through AI technology. Our outcome “Colagic” takes “Memories” further by making photos into collages through AI technology.
