Interdisciplinary design guidelines of an interface-device for a more accessible urban space

Abstract

This work is part of the interdisciplinary research project ``Mediations of augmented space: artifacts, interfaces and representations in artistic and design disciplines'', based at the Computing and Design Center of the Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Urbanismo of the Universidad Nacional del Litoral (Santa Fe, Argentina), and directed by PhD. Arch. María Elena Tosello. The work, which was developed in the framework of a grant directed by MSc. Arch. Griselda Bertoni, proposes to reflect on certain limitations that may affect the experience of public space, and how, through the integration of artifacts, interfaces and augmented public spaces, a better appropriation, mobility and habitability of cities can be promoted for seniors. The work seeks to make a creative contribution so that older adults can exercise the right to mobility and feel active citizens of society.
