| We experience our daily environments through the lens of assumption fueled by past experience. Out in the world, we see what we decide to see, we see what helps us make sense of our world. The WayMark project breaks down our self imposed walls of perception by giving us an alternative perspective on our daily interactions. A wearable camera with unlimited storage, the WayMark takes continuous photographs of our everyday involvements, sending each photo along with location information to a remote data warehouse. With the WayMark's alternative perspective, the wearer can gain candid insights into their routes and interactions. At the same time, aggregating the collected images and displaying them relative to where they were taken provides an alternate view of the wearer's day. Finally, the wearer of the WayMark has the ability to give another individual real time access to the wearer's continuous photo feed. In real time, this other will be able to see the wearer's point of view outside of the wearer's interpretation. | Through this presentation/workshop, we will show participants how to make their own self documenting wearable from fabrication to technical implementation. We will also describe some of our findings from the alternate perspective of the WayMarker. If participants have a series 60 phone (http://s60.com/life/s60phones) we can show them how to turn their own cell phone into a WayMarker. Ideally, individuals would have 1st or 2nd edition series 60 phone. An experimental version of the 3rd edition python interpreter came out in early July and will be tested before Conflux.
