RSSMicrosoft Research Family Archive
The result of my research and work at Microsoft Research on family archives was part of the Social Digital Systems group and centred around ideas of the family and how they act and interact in the home. The output of this research was thinking and design based on the idea of a family of discreet objects that were networked and worked together as well as independently. The digital photo album was a prototype exploring this. It is meant as a display for a single person with each 'page' as a container for each event or period of their lives. This way one can quickly take the album off of the shelf and see content for just that person and be able to simply navigate through each page by sliding their finger along the spine and tapping to select.
