Social Dining Experience using Mixed Reality for Older Adults

Abstract
This project investigates a novel method of engaging older adults in meaningful mealtime social interactions through the use of Mixed Reality technology. We propose a novel dining system that aims to facilitate interpersonal interactions and enhance meal consumption in socially isolated older adults. We created a prototype which allowed the target audience to test and discuss our concept so we can iteratively improve a user oriented design.
