Spatial Mobile Memories is a system for creating and viewing spatial memories using mobile devices. The concept of interacting with three-dimensional recordings of people and places has been explored using depth cameras and Augmented and Virtual Reality headsets, but these methods require specialized hardware that has not yet reached wider availability. Recent developments in mobile camera technology have presented new capabilities which Spatial Mobile Memories' application leverages. The application captures visual and depth information, together with the orientation and movement of the mobile device. This is then combined into a single standard image or video file. Users can share these files via personal messaging channels, and replay them in 2D and 3D across devices using the same application. The goal of this project is to develop open and widely-accessible systems for the creation and viewing of spatial memories that leverage the ubiquity and familiarity of mobile devices.
