Abstract

One of the important components of the lifelog systems is the user interface which provides the ability to quickly and easily find a specific image or set of images. Although lifelogging is a mature field in the information retrieval domain, the focus on user interfaces is not explored extensively. We start by identifying the common issues with existing lifelog systems from the user interface and user experience perspective. Following the exploration, we present a set of guidelines for designing a user interface for Lifelog systems. We introduce LifeLens- a novel minimalist user interface design specifically designed to improve the usability and ease of use of an interactive lifelog system. The initial version of the LifeLens system provides several improvements over existing lifelog systems addressing the design issues identified during the exploration. The proposed system presents several features that not only enable the users of the system to easily navigate the interface with minimal effort on the user’s part to learn and understand the features offered but also provide a minimal way to gather user feedback.
