Abstract
Letters, diaries, postcards, photo albums, home videos, and lifelogs! These are artefacts of our personal history, they represent how we cherish and preserve memories, re-engage with our past and share our experiences with others. In this demonstration paper, we explore an Virtual Reality (VR) approach to help people reminisce about the past through lifelogs. Our user study found that most participants enjoyed the experience, although for some, the VR environment was overwhelming.
