An Interactive Digital Television Channel for Promoting Entertainment and Social Interaction amongst Elderly People

摘要

SeniorChannel is a project funded under call 2 of Ambient Assisted Living Program AAL, whose objective is the development of an Interactive Internet Protocol Television Channel (SENIORCHANNEL) that will not only provide elderly people with a method of interacting but also with a unique means of access to the range of diverse activities in their community including the opportunity to share knowledge and experience, the ability to participate in topical debates, entertainment services, work-shops and discussion groups regardless of their geographical location. Also will be developed and implemented a low cost, easy-to-use, integrated TV studio and production centre that will enable community driven broadcasting.
