A Model for Selecting Media Type of Memory Cues in Ubiquitous Prostheses.

Memories shape our interactions with the world. Thus, there is a new trending research direction to build memory prostheses that help us augment our cognitive capabilities and become better versions of ourselves. Such prostheses alter our memories through augmentation or degradation. Nevertheless, there is a research gap in systematic processes to design such systems. In this work, we reflect on our experience designing several memory prostheses and present a two-dimensional design space to contextualize existing literature. We also present eight criteria to choose media types to capture, store and present memory cues. Our work is one step forward to identifying elements of a holistic framework to build targeted memory prostheses.
