MemTable

Seth Hunter with the assistance of Jenny Chan, Katie Harrington, Emily Zhao, Alexandre Milouchev, and Michael Kuo
MemTable is an interactive touch table that supports co-located group meetings by capturing both digital and physical interactions in its memory. Everyone can be a scribe at the MemTable. The goal of the project is to demonstrate hardware and software design principles that integrate recording, recalling, and reflection during the life cycle of a project in one tabletop system. The project has been developing during the last year, and was my masters thesis at the MIT Media Lab in 2009.

Memtable poses an important question to HCI designers: How can the multi-person interactions we design be integrated with our work practices into systems which have history and memory? What is the social computing space of the future?
