Tales of Things: Share your Memories Online
I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Dr Chris Speed from the Edinburgh College of Art last week about the Tales of Things (TOTeM) project (video interview). The Tales of Thing project is a way of linking physical objects with the memories that object holds for you and sharing these online. You can then tag your physical object with a QR Code (or RFID tag) to share your memories online. I have a brief overview of the project in this video tying in with my first Tales of Things thing.
My First Tales of Things Thing
So this is the video I did for my first Tales of Things thing talking about my Fisher Price Music Box Teaching Clock which holds special memories for me. Here’s the full page with additional info on the Tales of Things website.
Will you be adding your own Tales of Things? If you’re considering it, there’s a FAQ that’s worth reading on the Tales of Things website which has some useful guidelines.
Lovely stuff, Carol.
My cousins had that same sort of clock and I loved playing with it when I was round at their’s. Hearing the tune and the tick-tock again was quite emotional! :)
Ah thanks Chris! Glad it brought back some memories for you :-)
