The apollo archive explorer

A system for exploring the rich recorded legacy of the Apollo missions to the Moon, using the event structure of each mission as an organizing principle, will be demonstrated. A scalable implementation is achieved by automating temporal, spatial, and topical content alignment across diverse media. Multiple access points are supported, including event-based access through the flight plan, time-based access using event timelines, and content-based access using information retrieval techniques

LifeLogging: personal big data

We have recently observed a convergence of technologies to foster the emergence of lifelogging as a mainstream activity. Computer storage has become significantly cheaper, and advancements in sensing technology allows for the efficient sensing of personal activities, locations and the environment. This is best seen in the growing popularity of the quantified self movement, in which life activities are tracked using wearable sensors in the hope of better understanding human performance in a variety of tasks. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of lifelogging, to cover its research history, current technologies, and applications. Thus far, most of the lifelogging research has focused predominantly on visual lifelogging in order to capture life details of life activities, hence we maintain this focus in this review. However, we also reflect on the challenges lifelogging poses to an information retrieval scientist. This review is a suitable reference for those seeking a information retrieval scientist’s perspective on lifelogging and the quantified self
