Capturing Open Stories #7

Open vantuyls opened 8 years ago

vantuyls commented 8 years ago

One element of this proposed project, the piece about capturing conference participant stories, reminds me of the Hear Me project at Carnegie Mellon (http://www.hear-me.net/home). Hear Me captures the stories of children who want to share them and allows other children to hear these stories. Could a similar setup/infrastructure work for the "sharing your story" part of this project?

@vantuyls !!!! That is a brilliant project! I hadn't heard of it! I LOVE THIS! ❤️ (Okay... I may be a little overexcited about it.) I'm wondering if we could deploy "kiosks" to different university libraries / depts with the recorded stories for use outside conferences. Maybe also have a couple at the conferences in strategic locations... maybe near coffee carts / or other popular places folks stand around. Any thoughts on what a first step would be? Do you know anyone at Carnegie Mellon?
