Ubiquitous Memories: a memory externalization system using physical objects
In this paper we propose an object-triggered human memory augmentation system named ‘‘Ubiquitous Memories’’ that enables a user to directly associate his/her experience data with physical objects by using a ‘‘touching’’ operation.

We implemented a prototype system composed basically of a radio frequency identification (RFID) device. Physical objects are also attached to RFID tags. We conducted two experiments. The first experiment confirms a succession of the ‘‘encoding specificity principle,’’ which is well known in the research field of psychology, to the Ubiquitous Memories system. The second experiment aims at a clarification of the system’s characteristics by comparing the system with other me...
