The Lifelog Search Challenge (LSC) invites researchers to share their prototypes for lifelog exploration and retrieval and encourages competition to evaluate effective methodologies for this. In this paper. we present a novel approach to visual lifelog exploration using a virtual reality (VR) platform. Findings from our initial experiments with known-item search from lifelog data have motivated us to build a retrieval engine for virtual reality that uses visual concepts automatically extracted from the lifelog visual data as the basis for it's filtering mechanism.
