Abstract

With an aging population, there is a growing need to fulfill the social needs of this segment of society. In this paper, we present inSight- a system consisting of paired devices that act as a virtual two-way surface, connecting users through constant audio and video feed. inSight invites elderlies to interact with their loved ones in a playful, intuitive, and non-intrusive manner, all achieved through the utilization of a simple interface metaphor.
