Abstract
The novel activity of continuous visual lifelogging, becoming more and more affordable with small, wearable digital cameras, allows a user to visually record a day’s activities in remarkable details and review or re-live later. Loaded with privacy and ethical issues but still promising so many potentially positive usage scenarios, such an extreme lifelogging has many aspects to be further explored to become a truly meaningful, usable and life quality-enhancing activity. Based on the authors’ first-hand experiences of practicing visual lifelogging for a number of years, this paper describes the usability issues of wearing a typical lifelog digital camera and reviewing the photos each day.
