Memento is essentially a user's memory portal. The interactions are designed to feel smooth, with the user gradually becoming more engaged with their memory portal as they move deeper into the experience.

The video provides a complete overview of the entire Memento experience.

I drew out a detailed storyboard to understand the user's journey transitioning from one memory to another

I interpreted the ‘time machine’ as a opportunity to play around with the perception of time.

Creating novel spatial interactions urged us to tell a profound story that encompassed 'human understanding of time.'

The brief urged us to look at what the ‘future’ of AR/VR could look like and think beyond conventions of existing applications.

Because the brief was broad and allowed maximum creative bandwidth, I conducted exploratory research within media - film and literature which have historically been known to foster unconventional ways of storytelling.

Using the story board for re-living a memory as a reference, I was able to draw the user journey map and plan the various UI elements that were needed to be designed.

The journey map serves as a guide to identify key stages that require focus in the design process.

Instead of presenting users with a large and potentially overwhelming portal right from the start, it might be better to begin with a simpler interaction that allows them to eventually access the portal.

The visual representation of saving a memory into the spatial memory map could be made more clear.

Engaging users in a creative and wholesome activity through nostalgia can give a greater sense of meaning to one’s life.

Memento can potentially be used for trauma therapy by helping users relive and reconcile with traumatic events from their life in a controlled environment.

The power of reliving memories through Memento can be used to strengthen human relationships and bonds.
