Overview of Lifelogging: Current Challenges and Advances

Abstract

Lifelogging is the process of digital tracking of person's daily experiences in varying amounts of details, for a variety of purposes. In recent years, lifelogging has become an increasingly popular area of research due to the growing demands from many applications, such as video surveillance, entertainment, healthcare systems, and intelligent environments. Furthermore, the advancements in devices technology offer the promise to record and store large volumes of personal data in a very cheap manner, using an inexpensive tool. However, the rapid access to this huge deluge of unlabeled and unstructured data and automatically processing it to recognize everyday experiences, still present major challenges. A large number of research have been conducted in recent years to cover different lifelogging aspects, but there is still a lack of studies that provide a comprehensive survey of the available literature, and most of the existing lifelogging surveys generally focus on only one aspect. This review highlights the advances of stateof-the-art in lifelogging from different angles, including its research history, current applications, activity recognition techniques, moment retrieval, storytelling, privacy and security issues, as well as challenges and future research trends.

Acceptance and Preferences of Using Ambient Sensor-Based Lifelogging Technologies in Home Environments

“…In light of demographic change and an increasingly aging population, assisting lifelogging technologies are developed in order to support people in being as independent and active as possible [1,2]. In fact, lifelogging can help to raise awareness about one's own quality of life, thanks to the use of wearable trackers, ambient sensors, and even manual entry to collect suitable indicators [3]. The spectrum of the technological developments is extremely broad, reaching from video-based approaches [1,4,5], including those exploiting multiple cameras and suitable artificial intelligence-based processing aimed at fall detection, such as [6][7][8], over ambient systems based on different sensors and technologies (such as microphones, pressure or vibration sensors) [9,10] to wearable technologies using acceleration and rotation rate sensors [11][12][13].…”

The Metaverse in the Workplace: Possibilities and Implications for Human Resource Development

“…According to the ASF roadmap, lifelogging represents a form of augmentation applied to individuals. Lifelogging involves the comprehensive recording of one’s daily life, capturing varying levels of detail through digital devices such as mobile phones or wearables (Ksibi et al, 2021). Lifelogging serves diverse purposes, both professional and personal, including documenting significant life experiences and monitoring personal health.…”

The adoption of the metaverse concepts in Romania

“…In the medical field, services that use biometric information saved through wearable devices have just become available. Some apps, such as Nike Plus, connect sensors to track the amount of exercise or location (Ksibi et. al, 2021).…”
