Emerging technologies for enrichment in old age: A critical perspective

该项目旨在了解老年人使用用于丰富社会和情感的新兴技术的经验。像虚拟现实这样的技术据说可以为老年人提供社会福利，但我们对可能阻碍老年人使用这些技术的问题了解有限，甚至对弱势用户造成伤害。该项目旨在确定在设计和部署新兴技术以丰富老年生活方面的良好做法的经验战略。这应该为未来的道德设计和新兴技术的使用提供信息，以造福澳大利亚老年人的社会和情感福祉。

This project aims to generate knowledge about older adults' experiences with emerging technologies used for social and emotional enrichment. Technologies like virtual reality are said to offer social benefits for those in advanced old age, but we have limited knowledge about the issues that can impede older adults’ experiences with these technologies and even cause harm for vulnerable users. This project seeks to identify empirically informed strategies for good practice in the design and deployment of emerging technologies for enrichment in old age. This should inform the future ethical design and use of emerging technologies to benefit the social and emotional well-being of older Australians.
