Co-designing Innovations in Digital Storytelling with Older Adults

该项目旨在研究如何利用新兴技术为老年人创造和分享他们的生活故事以促进社会福祉提供创新方法。后来的生活可能是一个相当大的变化的时间，让人们感到与对他们重要的人，地方和生活事件脱节。自传体故事可以帮助人们与过去建立联系，但人们对如何使用数字游戏和虚拟现实等技术使老年人能够以支持持续社交互动的方式分享他们的生活故事知之甚少。该项目预计将共同设计新形式的数字讲故事，以改善老年人的社会福祉。

This project aims to investigate how emerging technologies can be leveraged to provide innovative ways for older adults to create and share their life stories to foster social wellbeing. Later life can be a time of considerable change, leaving people feeling disconnected from the people, places, and life events that are important to them. Autobiographical storytelling can help create links with one's past, but little is known about how technologies such as digital games and virtual reality can be used to enable older adults to share stories about their lives in a way that supports ongoing social interactions. This project is expected to co-design new forms of digital storytelling to improve social wellbeing of older adults.
