The latest weeks we have been exploring the potential of an Internet of Things for memories and – by extension – for dementia. Tales of Things, a collaboration project between five universities, is developing a project very close to our interests in this perspective. ‘Tales of Things’ “(…) encourages users to ‘tag’ objects with digital media using the sort of technology found in Oyster Cards and bar codes. Users can upload an image of the object and an associated memory in the form of text, audio or video to the project’s website – talesofthings.com – or using a dedicated iPhone application”.
