Location:

We want to develop and test a sofa for persons with memory decline which creates an augmented reality, tailor-made. The functionality is based on sensor technology embedded in tangibles for evoking of content. Tangibles can be the sofa itself (sitting po sition), cushions, or objects on the table. Sitting in a certain position, pushing the cushion(s) or touching/bending the artefacts, fire content e.g. on a large HDTV screen or a tablet -- all depending on the user's preferences and abilities. Content ma y be music, series of photo, film, TV series, or combinations of these. The content is created and administered by the carers who know the user well, and have detailed knowledge of his/her preferences and interests. The motivation behind this approach is well-being, stimuli for cognitive "training", or simply happiness.
