Living Frames
Intel asked the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID) to look 10 years into the future and imagine how people might capture or display photos given expected advances in technology. Intel is in the ever faster processor business and uses these predictions to steer chip architecture as well as to help spur developers imagination to maintain demand for faster silicon.
Over the course of the project one of the teams (the one made by Chris Bierbower and Marco Triverio) realized that using photos for story telling is such a fundamentally instinctive behavior that it is safe to predict it will last through several generations of technological innovation. The concept they created, called Living Frames, develops on this insight. However, foreseeing 10 years into the future is tricky. With IBM’s Watson, we’re seeing a sneak peak of improvements in natural language and intention recognition. The Living Frames team thinks that one of the photo related advances users will enjoy are computers that will actually help us tell stories and have richer conversations. They created a video to illustrate the idea.
