Tangible user interfaces provide an opportunity to connect these people to social media, thereby increasing their digital participation in society and reducing loneliness. In this paper, we discuss the challenges of intergenerational communication and research the opportunities affiliated with tangible technologies to overcome technology barriers for adults of high ages. We present a hybrid system for social media interactions between young smartphone users and their old relatives, who do not use mobile technologies. The system consists of a tangible user interface designed specifically for old adults that connects to a standard mobile messenger service. TAMI was designed in a user-centered process to fulfill the needs of older adults and tested in a longer-term field study with pairs of young and old relatives.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WohlmacherMertlKlapperichetal.2022, author = {Wohlmacher, Bernhard and Mertl, Fabian and Klapperich, Holger and Huldtgren, Alina}, title = {Hybrid Ludo: Combination of a Tangible UI for Seniors and a Web-based Ludo Game}, series = {Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Ageing Well and e-Health - ICT4AWE}, volume = {1}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Ageing Well and e-Health - ICT4AWE}, publisher = {SciTePress}, isbn = {978-989-758-566-1}, issn = {2184-4984}, doi = {10.5220/0011069500003188}, pages = {290}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WohlmacherMertlKlapperichetal.2022, author = {Wohlmacher, Bernhard and Mertl, Fabian and Klapperich, Holger and Huldtgren, Alina}, title = {Hybrid Ludo: Combination of a Tangible UI for Seniors and a Web-based Ludo Game}, series = {Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Ageing Well and e-Health, April 23-25, 2022}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Ageing Well and e-Health, April 23-25, 2022}, editor = {Ziefle, Martina and Mulvenna, Maurice and Maciaszek, Leszek}, publisher = {SciTePress}, isbn = {978-989-758-566-1}, issn = {2184-4984}, doi = {10.5220/0011069500003188}, pages = {283 -- 290}, year = {2022}, language = {en} }
