Description
This paper introduces Family Room, a cross-platform solution to address email overload associated with personal information management (PIM), bridge the intergenerational disparity in technology use, and enhance reminiscence within geographically dispersed families. In response to the OzCHI 2013 24-hour Student Design Challenge, to design the future of email, this proposal focuses on families' use of email alongside other communication tools for managing digital possessions. The aim was to identify an approach to reduce email burden while supporting users' ability to connect with their family through a familiar platform. As this concept was designed and prototyped within 24 hours, further exploration and evaluation is recommended.
