We present a design of a user interface on a projection tabletop system for the elderly. Nowadays, the population imbalance between the elderly who require daily care and caregivers is being one of global social issues since the population aging advances. Additionally, if the amount of the elderly with memory problem increases, the imbalanced situation makes the elderly worse because of few caregivers,...
This paper presents a tele-guidance system for elderly people so that they can walk outdoors without an escort and their caregivers can monitor them or guide them from remote site when they are in a need of help. The feature point of the proposed system is to adopt laser projection with consideration for use outdoor. Because the laser projection shows the arrow, which indicates a direction, all a...
Many countries are facing a problem when the age-structure of the society is changing. The numbers of senior citizen are rising rapidly, and caretaking personnel numbers cannot match the problems and needs of these citizens. Using smart, ubiquitous technologies can offer ways in coping with the need of more nursing staff and the rising costs of taking care of senior citizens for the society. Helping...
In society where the numbers of elderly people is growing rapidly, there is an urgent need to have smart ambient environments. It is important to design novel user interfaces for senior citizens to ease their daily lives. This paper presents a projection based display system for elderly people with memory problem. The proposed user interface for the system is also described as well as the required...
Ubiquitous services are designed to help senior citizens' daily lives. Living processes and middleware are the key enablers of ubiquitous services. In this paper a ubiquitous service system is established with detailed descriptions of its key components and their functions. Game engine is proposed as middleware for ubiquitous services. This paper discusses ubiquitous service system, living process...
