- ISBN: 9781450308274
Abstract
Families have strong desires to have fun together, even at a distance. Food Media is an exploration of appropriating food and food activities as a medium for family commu- nication and entertainment, across generations and over a distance. Traditionally, food has always been a social hub which brings people together for communication and enter- tainment. As the chances for remote families to enjoy shared entertainment are decreasing greatly nowadays, we propose Food Media as an intuitive multimodal interaction plat- form to engage remote people into social communication and entertainment within the telepresent family dinner con- text. Rather than fancy multimedia or computerized so- cial games, this system breathes interactive entertainment into domestic routine activities of family dining, introduces multi-sensory interactions like touch, smell and taste to sup- port enriched experience of interaction, connects and enter- tains people over a natural and playful eating experience.
