Abstract

The Multi-sensory Room is an ongoing project aiming to develop non pharmacological therapeutic protocols and IT solutions for the treatment of dementia in institutionalized contexts. The project exploits the potential of ambient technologies and tangible media for developing a therapeutic environment to stimulate patients' residual cognitive, behavioral and physical abilities. The Multi-sensory room is currently used in an Italian Home Care. Initial trials and preliminary results are described in the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

A 50-year-old man was apparently hesitant carrying such a small and expensive computer around in the museum and in particular he was afraid he would not to be able to use it. As soon as he stepped into the Sala del Mappamondo, wearing a headphone and firmly grasping the device, a deep loud voice started speaking, "This is the Sala del Mappamondo one of the most important halls of the whole Palazzo Pubblico. The wonderful frescoes, even the more religious ones, impose themselves as the very first examples of laic art involved in history and contemporary political life." Just another audio guide, thought the man a little bit relieved about the situation. Yet, when he approached the opposite wall the voice started speaking again, "This is La Maestà, depicted by S. Martini in 1315. The fresco is located in the main part of the hall, the central point that gave the orientation of the Sala del Mappamondo. By contrast, the Guidoriccio fresco, located just behind you, was a sort of ‘poster,' glorifying the power of the Siena Republic." The man turned around and the voice continued, "In front of you, you can see the Guidoriccio, it was also painted by S. Martini […].". The man was amazed; the audio guide seemed to work by itself. Suddenly, he recalled the small computer that he was still firmly grasping. He looked at it and first of all he noticed a small picture of the wall in front of him, all the frescoes were blurred but one: so that one is the Guidoriccio. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Under what conditions can we engage in a meaningful, expressive interaction with an electronic device? How can we distinguish between merely functional objects and esthetic, poetic, interactive objects that can be potential carriers for meaningful experience? This paper provides some answers to these questions through considering an aspect of aesthetic interaction that is still quite unexplored. Taking a phenomenological approach to action and perception, the paper explores the possibility of achieving by design a shared perception with interactive devices in order to enrich the experience of use as an emergent and dynamic outcome of the interaction. In exploring shared perception with interactive devices, the concept of "perceptual crossing" is taken as a main source of inspiration for design. As defined by Auvray, Lenay, and Stewart (2008), perceptual crossing is the recognition of an object of interaction which involves the perception of how the behaviour of the object and its perception relate to our own. In this sense, a shared perceptual activity influences the behaviour of interacting entities in a very peculiar way: we perceive while being perceived. Here, this argument is explored from the design viewpoint, and prototypes that illustrate the dynamics of perceptual crossing in human-robot interaction are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
