The Multisensory Interactive Window: Immersive Experiences for the Elderly
Abstract
This paper presents the Multisensory Interactive Window , a system that allows experiencing distant places and communicating with distant people through a tangible installation that exploits the window metaphor and multisensory feedback. Thanks to the feeling of being just in front of a natural landscape or a room inhabited by a beloved person , we strive to enhance the older adult ' s well-being at home. We illustrate two interaction concepts and a feasibility study for the implementation of the first prototype .
