Squeeze the moment: denoting diary events by squeezing

Abstract

In this demonstration, we showcase SqueezeDiary, a novel mobile diary application that uses squeeze gestures for denoting instances of events. SqueezeDiary consists of a mobile phone and a small squeeze sensor that communicate over a Bluetooth connection. To record an event instance, the user simply squeezes the sensor, and the phone records memory cues for review later. SqueezeDiary provides features for users to swiftly record instances as they continue to live through the experience, and only reflect on the instances during their downtime.
