Thanks Sebastien. This MS site (actually a Job site) information about this project, as well as other past projects and the future of hardware design. "The Hardware Design Group has won numerous awards for its products, and the ReMemory project was one of the most exciting experiences for the team. It was a interesting stretch for the team, and it paid off when the design group was honored with awards from ID Magazine and Business Week, among others. The purpose of reMemory is to provide people with simple, high fidelity tools for saving special moments, recollecting those moments later, and sharing them with friends and family. ReMemory is made up of three components: reCorder, snapDots, and reViewer."
- reCorder is the device used to capture moments. It is a small jewelry-like device and is worn like a pin on the user's shirt or jacket. To capture a moment, the user touches the display at the center of the device.
- snapDots are small round pictures with an adhesive back, and contain a digital encoding to a specific saved moment. snapDots are printed from reCorder by pressing the print button, which is located below the display.
- reViewer is a handheld device used for finding and watching past moments, by interacting with the tilt-sensitive user interface on the LCD touch screen. reViewer has a proximity sensor which recognizes the presence of snapDots that are nearby and allows the user to replay that snapDot's moment. ReMemory represents the kind of innovation the Hardware Design Group loves to engage in.
