  1. MOTIVATION RESEARCH QUESTION • 58% of pages viewed on the web are revisited • Current browser’s history list tool is used by less than 1% of users • Names of photo-sharing site pages in history list are identical or not meaningful • Need an easier way to organize and display data of history list- but how??? • When searching for a previously viewed picture, does a user more naturally think of: • how recently was the picture viewed? • what album the picture came from? Senior Project – Computer Science and Psychology - 2009Improving Photo Retrieval in a User’s Browser HistoryMaria TobinAdvisors – Aaron Cass and Chris Fernandes METHOD Retrieval Task Users find 15 of the 63 pictures from 2 different photo albums Navigation Task Users look at 63 pictures from 5 different albums Digit Recall Filler task to distract users Recency Condition Pictures sorted by recency Album Condition Pictures sorted by album • FUTURE WORK • Generalize study to all pages in the history list • Collapse results of photo-sharing site pages to make it easier for users to search/match their mental model • Make a personal photo history outside of history list RESULTS • Users retrieved pictures slightly faster when the pictures were sorted by albums as opposed to sorted by recency • Users also underestimated the time it took for them to find pictures in both the recency and album conditions
