International Journal of Human-Computer Studies 69, 5 (2011), 338-349. Data Souvenirs: Environmental psychology and reflective design. Aipperspach, R., Hooker, B., and Woodruff, A.We discuss how design for remembering can benefit from our insights, through careful trade-offs in timing, exposure to cues, and supporting a process of personal attachment with items invoking memories. Meaningful relations to memory cues can be partially explained from a memory cueing perspective. Qualitative analysis of the data showed that these participants were relying on everyday physical objects like food items for cueing memories during everyday life, locations and (repeated) activities, while digital items and photos were shown to be less frequent stimulants. Data was collected from fifteen adult individuals, using sentence completion diaries, combined with debriefing interviews. Prior work focused on mementos in the home instead, this paper presents a diary and interview study of involuntary memory cueing in everyday life. These designs require insight into what brings the past to mind, and how people relate to such cues. It’s then revealed that the entire film has actually been taking place in Nick’s memory decades later (which might mean certain details aren’t exactly how it really happened), with an older Watts arriving to check on her old friend in the memory tank accompanied by her granddaughter (played by Newton’s real-life daughter Nico).Interactive devices can support personal remembering to benefit well-being. The film concludes with Nick permanently putting himself in his memories (partially as a sentence for his actions during the film, which included trapping Booth in a painful memory forever). He also reveals where the boy has been hiding since Mae saved him – at a white stilt-house in the middle of the water, where Mae had lived for a time before she came to Miami. Nick takes the evidence of the plot and reveals Walter’s son Sebastian (Mojean Aria) as the mastermind, hoping to avoid sharing his inheritance with his half-brother. She reveals that she did genuinely love him, and tried to get back in touch with him during the events of the film but missed her chance. She and corrupt police officer Booth (Cliff Curtis) end up tracking down Elsa and her son, and Booth kills Elsa while Mae turns on him to help her son escape.īooth later kills Mae, but not before she leaves Nick a message in Booth’s memory (which Nick then “walks” into). Rebecca Ferguson and Hugh Jackman in Reminiscence (Warner Bros)īy the end of the story, the truth is revealed – the son of a land baron (who appeared earlier in the film) hired Mae (via some third parties) to seduce Nick and steal the memories of his client Elsa (Angela Sarafyan), who’d been having an affair with his father (Brett Cullen’s Walter Sylvan). Regularly over the course of the film it’s revealed that a scene we’ve been watching has actually been Nick’s memory of the scene rather than what necessarily happened, with the action punctuated by his sudden awakening inside the machinery. OK – background established! The film’s events mainly follow Nick as he tries to track down his lost love Mae (Rebecca Ferguson), who vanished mysteriously without a word leaving him addicted to their memories together. Given this background, it’s no surprise that so many people have taken refuge in the reminiscence technology operated by lead characters Nick (Hugh Jackman) and his colleague Watts (Thandie Newton), which allows them to relive old memories. The rest of society is forced to live a damp and semi-nocturnal existence, dodging floodwaters and wading through flooded streets as they live their lives at night to escape the blazing sun. Reminiscence takes place in a world where climate change and rising sea levels have transformed society, with “border wars” over the remaining land still fresh in the memory and “land barons” holding on to what little dry land is left.
