The problem of aging society is of a serious concern in Japan and other developed countries. Elderly people often suffer from mobility, memory, communication and general health problems. They tend to become both physically and socially isolated, which leads to distress and poor mood states, all of which contribute to a worsening of their quality of life and health. The main goal of the project is to investigate how changes in the environment, those made possible by recent advances in information and communication technology, affect and can be designed to maximize quality of elderly life. Our focus was related to three directions where we obtained the following results. 1) Architecture of multimedia communicators and a set of experimental systems where messages input as multimedia hieroglyphs consisting of multimedia words have been developed. The multimedia words possess self-explanatory features and can be input without the use of conventional keyboard. Special translators can automatically produce Japanese or English sentences from multimedia hieroglyphs. 2) A new approach for embedding elements of musical therapy into the communicator interfaces has been established. Features of music and how they can influence people to change their initial emotional states into more favorable ones within the process of communication with computer have been analyzed. 3) A basis of a new programming environment based on self-explanatory components and cyberFilm formats has been enhanced and considered for possible use by senior people after the retirement

老龄化问题在日本和其他发达国家都是一个严重的问题。老年人往往有行动能力、记忆力、沟通和一般健康问题。他们往往在身体上和社会上变得孤立，从而导致痛苦和情绪低落，所有这些都导致他们的生活质量和健康状况恶化。该项目的主要目标是研究环境的变化，这些变化是如何通过信息和通信技术的最新进步来影响和设计的，以最大限度地提高老年人的生活质量。我们的重点与三个方向有关，我们获得了以下结果。1)建立了多媒体通信器的体系结构和一套以多媒体词组成的多媒体象形文字作为信息输入的实验系统。多媒体单词具有自解释的特点，无需使用传统键盘即可输入。特殊的翻译人员可以自动从多媒体象形文字中生成日语或英语句子。2)建立了一种将音乐治疗元素嵌入交流界面的新方法。分析了音乐的特点，以及音乐如何影响人们在与电脑交流的过程中，将最初的情绪状态转变为更有利的情绪状态。3)基于自解释组件和网络电影格式的新编程环境的基础已得到加强，并考虑供老年人退休后可能使用
