Ritual Camera: Exploring Domestic Technology to Remember Everyday Life

Can media technology help users treasure everyday life experiences? The authors take a research-through-design perspective and present Ritual Camera, a domestic camera for everyday life. Focusing on family dinners, they illustrate that mnemonic technologies could benefit from selective automated media creation.
