Designing distanced intergenerational interaction with tangible technology

老年人和他们的年轻亲戚/孙子在地理上相距遥远，目前无法以有形的方式体验亲密，这是他们在“真实的”生活中玩耍和建立关系的自然方式。实现这种联系将对这两个群体产生积极的影响，可以探索两种类型的技术-混合现实和有形技术-让我们了解如何做到这一点。我们将制定具体的代际远距离有形互动方法，这些方法专门用于增加代际密切关系，并具有创新性和微妙性，以便无缝融入老年人和幼儿的生活。

Older people and their young relatives/grandchildren who are geographically distanced cannot currently experience closeness in tangible ways, which are the natural ways they would play and build relationships in “real” life. Enabling this connection would have positive impacts for both groups, and two types of technologies – Mixed Reality and Tangibles - can be explored to allow us to understand how to do this. We will develop approaches to distanced tangible intergenerational interaction which are designed specifically to increase intergenerational closeness and to be innovative and subtle so that they fit seamlessly into the lives of older people and young children.
