Abstract

There has been a growing attention in design and HCI on how technology could be designed to support experiences of reminiscence on past life experiences. Yet, this research has largely overlooked people living with blindness. We present preliminary findings from an ongoing field study with 9 participants living with blindness to understand their experiences of reminiscence. We specifically report on the role of audio recordings as key materials our participants drew on to mediate their experiences of reminiscence. Findings are interpreted to explore opportunities for audio-based interactive technology to better support their practices of capturing, storing and reflecting on the past.
