Nostalgia: an evocative tangible interface for elderly users

Published:05 April 2003Publication History

ABSTRACT

Nostalgia is a prototype which users can use for listening to old news and music from the twentieth century. The design of Nostalgia is an attempt to design an artefact that in a seamless and simple way can trigger the memory of past events both individually and in the company of others. Nostalgia has been developed in collaboration with elderly people from an old people's home. A preliminary evaluation with the target group showed that Nostalgia could be an appreciated artefact in their every day lives.
