From dechnology to humart: A case study of applying nature user interface to the interactive rehabilitation design

Abstract

Some elderly with reduced mobility usually stay their own familiar environments and watch TV or do nothing. In addition, due to the lack of exchanges or proper physical activities, their physical and psychological status tends to imperceptibly become unhealthy. This study applies natural user interface and ceramic crafts regarding the integration of sensing technology with a multimodal interactive components, proposes the design of an interactive rehabilitation device based on video and audio context, and performs an on-site inspection, in order to assist subjects in alleviating negative emotions, promoting physical and psychological health, and reducing the home care stress of nursing personnel, as well as to establish a demonstration model for the use of digital aids in home care environments.
