Abstract

We propose a conversational AI agent design concept called Remi to signify and celebrate reminiscence. Remi would be a networked digital photo frame. It can engage with older adults and simulate interactions with their loved ones through recognition of uploaded photos, conversation generation around the photographs and interactivity through natural language processing. Remi will allow users to upload old and recent photographs and videos into the device and even voice record anecdotes and memories around the imagery. Old photographs could be restored and turned into a few seconds of ‘live photos’ based on conversations with the user to reminisce with them. Beyond this processing, Remi will have a built-in personality to simulate and prompt conversations around a photograph. This would mean that older adults can interact and talk to Remi whenever they want and converse on demand.
