Workshop Scope

Personal storage of all one's media throughout a lifetime has been desired and discussed since at least 1945, when Vannevar Bush published As We May Think, positing the “Memex” device “in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility.” His vision was astonishingly broad for the time, including full-text search, annotations, hyperlinks, virtually unlimited storage and even stereo cameras mounted on eyeglasses. In 2004, storage, sensor, and computing technology have progressed to the point of making Memex feasible and even affordable. Indeed, we can now look beyond Memex at new possibilities. In particular, while media capture has typically been sparse throughout a lifetime, we can now consider continuous archival and retrieval of all media relating to personal experiences.

The CARPE research community was launched with the first ACM CARPE Workshop on October 15, 2004. The workshop was a sell-out, with eight full papers, three academic demos, three industrial demonstrations, a panel discussion on the future of CARPE and invited talks from pioneering cyborg Steve Mann and industry legend Gordon Bell. The response to the workshop was overwhelmingly positive, and has led to an IEEE Multimedia special issue on CARPE.

The first workshop used the word "continuous" rather than "capture" in the title. After some reflection, we decided "capture" was better, because we wanted to include research that was not completely continuous in nature, but still made an important contribution to the study of lifelong experience capture.
