Abstract

The emerging surface computing trend is a key enabler for a wide range of ergonomic interfaces and applications. Surface computing interfaces are considered appropriate toward facilitating elderly interaction with ICT devices and services. In this paper, the authors present the development of an innovative low-cost multi-surface device and its application in elderly cognitive training. The multi-touch device has been designed and implemented as a cost-effective motivating environment for elderly cognitive training. Along with the implementation of the device and the bundled services, this paper also presents a number of cognitive training exercises that have been developed on the device.
