For my final project, I was inspired by the augmented reality Circle, which is based on the user interaction with various artifacts and personal belongings from four generations of women. The physical interaction with the objects highlights the women's stories and makes it more personable for the user, making the story more engaging.
I liked the idea of using personal belongings to tell someone's story. Focusing on multi-generational dynamics and how generations of women can have interconnected stories is intriguing to me. There's an old family photo I have of me, my mother, my grandmother, and my great-grandmother - I'd like to use this photo as the basis of my project. Like Circle, I want to include the personal artifacts/photos from each generation of women in my family to tell my family's story of endurance. As a journalism student, I want to dig deeper, too; I'm interested in possibly including interviews with both my mom and grandmother about their lives, childhoods, and the struggles they faced as single moms. These can act as both audio and visual elements that would contribute to the interactive / semi-hypertextual collage I will create on Thinglink.
