Call for Papers/Participation - IFIP-ICEC 2018 Workshop on
Designing Entertainment for the Aging Population (DEAP 2018)
************************************************************************************
In conjunction with IFIP International Conference on Entertainment
Computation (http://www.ifip-icec.org)
September 17, 2018 in Poznan, Poland
More info: http://avcd.aalto.fi/deap2018/
DESCRIPTION:
Health and healthy living is clearly important to us humans, and we all
want to have healthy and active lives which we can enjoy for as long as
possible. In this context, it is not surprising that an increasing
number of interactive tools and technologies are being developed to
support us in this regard. Many of these interactive tools and
technologies also tend to rely on our desire to have fun and be
entertained, while working towards achieving a longer active and healthy
life, in which we meet our goals, needs and desires.
Despite the importance of research into design of entertainment
technology targeting older adults, there are not many opportunities for
researchers and practitioners to meet and discuss their interests and
ideas. This workshop aims to provide such a forum, enabling researchers
and practitioners to share learnings and experiences related to design,
development, evaluation, and deployment of entertainment tools and
technologies for the ageing population.
The main objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers,
designers, developers and entrepreneurs interested in the design,
development, evaluation, commercialization and deployment of
entertainment tools and technologies for the aging population, targeting
their needs and desire, and promoting their health and well-being.
TOPICS OF INTEREST:
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
healthy living, rehabilitation, prevention, active aging, independent
living, human-centred approaches, connected health, quality of life and
well-being.
We seek submission related to:
* Design, development, and evaluation of entertainment technologies for
the aging population.
* Acceptability and adoption of entertainment technologies by the aging
population.
* Examples and case studies of entertainment tools, technologies, and
systems targeted at the aging population.
* Innovative approaches to the design, development, evaluation, and
commercialization of entertainment technologies for the aging population.
* Community- and user-led innovations in entertainment technologies for
the aging population.
* Participatory and co-design methodologies and approaches for smart,
active, and healthy ageing.
SUBMISSIONS:
