But that shouldn’t have to mean becoming lonely. In this project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), our consortium investigated how virtual memories – such as family photo albums or 3D data of former holiday destinations – can be made accessible to people living in retirement homes, remotely connecting them with their relatives.
Through innovative sensor technology, an intuitive interface concept and an agile, user-centered design process, we shaped a new way of interacting with the past.
