ABSTRACT
This paper presents the Multisensory Interactive Window, a system that allows experiencing distant places and communicating with distant people through a tangible installation that exploits the window metaphor and multisensory feedback. Thanks to the feeling of being just in front of a natural landscape or a room inhabited by a beloved person, we strive to enhance the older adult's well-being at home. We illustrate two interaction concepts and a feasibility study for the implementation of the first prototype.
