One file, many viewers

5 min

The same MEM plays differently for each person in it. Given the file and a viewer who is one of the people in it, the renderer produces a playback whose order, framing and narration are a function of who that viewer is and how they relate to everyone else in the memory. One file, no duplicated media, a materially different experience per viewer. This viewer-conditioned rendering is the mechanism Memoresse has claimed, and it is patent pending.

What a version is

In this app a version is the whole reel re-ranked for one named person. The photos she is in come first, framed on her face. The hero changes. The opening is written for her. A short line says why she sees this first. When the player knows less, it degrades: a known person, then a role, then nothing, in which case it plays the creator’s own emotional cut. It never plays a flat chronological dump.

Roles, never names

In the portable tier, people appear as roles. The package has involvedRoles, each asset has involvedRoles, and a voice asset has audioSpeakerRole. The roleGraph lists each role with a closeness band and its coarse relations to other roles. No real-world name, no persona id, no focal-point label (labels can carry names and are stripped; coordinates stay). In the full tier, which our own player and the lockbox render from, those become involvedPeople persona ids, and engagement rides along: reactions and hearts travel with the file, not with a server account.

How a player picks a version

A reader of a portable file gets the material a version is made from: which role is in which asset, how close each role is, and each asset’s weight and focal point. Let the viewer say which role they are, favor the assets that role appears in, open on the strongest of those, and frame each photo on its focal point. That is a sensible version. The scoring, the assignment and the rendering stay with the generator.

Identity-bound links, many perspectives

In this app each person’s version has its own link. When Mom opens hers she can claim it; her reactions, her note on a photo, and the photos she adds attach to her. A memory shared this way stops being one person’s cut. It becomes a multi-perspective record, and the MEM regenerates for everyone in it.
