Abstract

The “Communi-Table” is a desktop lamp that allows older adults to create digital content from analog interfaces. Communi-Table explores human-computer interaction opportunities based on the desktop metaphor. It turns pen and paper interfaces in the physical environment into a digital interface. Communi-Table aims to bridge the gaps between older adults with technology illiteracy and other generations with advanced digital literacy.
