Supporting Aging in Place With Mobility Impairments Through Annotated Telepresence Technology

Info about the Project

IMTC has been working on assisting those aging in place with mobility impairments in their understanding and use of various assistive smarthome technologies. In order to do so, we have generated a teleconferencing solution that assists in troubleshooting of said technologies through the use of multiple angles and live annotations of video. This system has been tested both with our target users, and with accessibility experts, and has led us to generate a series of guidelines for improving existing teleconferencing systems.
