| Research Abstract |
We developed a new augmented communication environment which aims to engender a greater sense of social proximity to geographically distributed family members and improve their emotional well-being. A field study of elderly persons and their family was conducted to determine important peripheral communication cues for sensing presence and mood of family members. Overall response from an initial field evaluation of its prototype based on peripheral telecommunications technology indicated positive but sometimes included mixed feelings for enhancing awareness of close family relationships.
