Mobile 'SqueeView' Caring for the elderly with mobile learning

Abstract

As we are encountering to the aging society, the interest of serious games gets increasing. In this respect, 'SqueeView' is aimed at enhancing visuo-spatial cognition of the elderly. In an empirical study with 35 mature adults, it was revealed that SqueeView had a significant effect for improving their visuo-spatial cognition capability. However, the SqueeView game that is based on the desktop computing environment is limited on time and space. We further address this issue with a new design concept on a mobile platform that can integrate game-based learning contents and computerized cognitive assessment.
