Objective
An important outcome of the project will be the development and dissemination of new methodologies-firstly for the design of IT products and services specifically for the elderly, building on the considerable experience of the European Design Age Network; and secondly, more generally, for the design of technologies to be used in everyday life.
PRESENCE focuses on one specific category of user: the elderly. The project will develop innovative new interaction strategies and methodologies for the design of technologies to support their everyday life in three areas: assistance, communications, and accessing mobility.
The PRESENCE project connects together three community-based Test Sites with two Design Centres, supported by two Resource establishments. This intentionally allows services for three local communities to be addressed from a range of design perspectives.
The project will be based on three Test Sites that have the common objective of supporting activities and well-being of elderly people belonging to local communities. They provide a complementary range of experiences, encompassing:
- three different countries: Italy, Norway, and the Netherlands
- a range of technologies, from low- to high- tech, to cutting edge
- three basic domains: assistance, communications, and accessing mobility //OBJ_OBJ_TXT The primary goal of the PRESENCE project is to develop new interaction paradigms with the following qualities:
- pleasurable devices, considering the aesthetics of the interaction as a major element to be developed in tandem with functionality;
- multi-modal input/output devices to allow parallel channels for use by people of different abilities;
- input/output devices "hidden" in the environment of public spaces or the home
These interfaces will exploit low-tech resources such as telephone and radio; existing high-tech resources such as email and the internet; and new cutting edge technologies such as modified video and audio, or active object techniques.
