Problem
Every family has their keepsakes, like a family sewing machine for example. However, only one person can posess said keepsake and it could be a struggle to pass them through generations. A sewing machine is just an item, but what really matters is the story behind it. Family stories are rarely captured into something tangible and they just exist through word of mouth that can easily warp and lose details as it is passed down through the family. There is no solution today that allows someone to easily connect a story to a keepsake, share it with others, and preserve it for future generations. In the current marketplace, products usually focus on either the story or the object instead of merging the two. StoryConnect is a service designed to capture, connect, and share the story behind your keepsakes.
Solution
StoryConnect is facilitated by a mobile application to guide the storyteller in capturing a keepsake’s story through photos, audio, video, and text. A keepsake’s story is then connected to the physical object through a tag containing a unique QR Code. The premium black walnut StoryConnect box comes with a 1 year subscription. You also get 5 brushed stainless steel QR codes that will transport the user into a multimedia story experience. Storytelling can be difficult for some people and the app assists you in creating stories your family will love. The app asks you a few simple questions and naturally guides you to capture the stories behind your beloved family keepsake. You can type or record stories and attach photos and documents that relate to your keepsake. There isn't a stronger connection with people than storytelling, and with StoryConnect your stories only get better when you share them.
