THE PROJECT NACODEAL´s main objective is to generate a portable
device in which an Augmented Reality module will be integrated and will
create friendly guides, so that its users will be capable of performing their
daily activities and access to online services that are relevant for them.
Data: -Starting
Date: October 2011 -Duration:
30 months - NACODEAL is a project co-funded
by AAL Joint Programme, Call 3 2010 - Placing
on the market: 2014 |
STATE OF THE ART OF THE PROJECT The facilities offered by modern
technology are many, however, elderly people is often unable to enjoy them
fully. This phenomenon is due to factors such as lack of familiarity, the
large amount of information available, coupled with natural problems that
come with the advanced ages like senility and memory loss. The NACODEAL
project aims to offer better autonomy and life quality during their daily
activities, taking advantage of state-of-art technology.
Special designed Elder User Interface &
AugMENTED REALITY After thoughtful research performed in France and Italy, involving
experts in the field, interviewing caretakers and volunteers, it was possible
to determine aspects like the needed features, appearance, usability and
positive and negative impacts in the user life that the device, which will be
a tablet, may bring to their life. NACODEAL
within its system integrates the technology of Augmented Reality (AR) which,
through a portable mini-projector lets you reproduce - on the walls of the
elderly house or in the residential facility that host them - images and
information that normally human perception is not able to understand.

AAL JOINT PROGRAMME: The AAL JP is a funding activity that aims to create
better condition of life for the older adults and to strengthen the
industrial opportunities in Europe through the use of information and
communication technology (ICT). It carries out its mandate through the
funding of across-national projects (at least three countries involved) that
involves small and medium enterprises (SME), research bodies and user’s
organizations (representing the older adults) Source: www.aal-europe.eu

QUALITY
OF THE CONSORTIUM: The
NACODEAL project is carried out by a consortium of 5 partners from 3
different AAL Partner States (Spain, Italy and France). NACODEAL
involves: ·
A Research Centre (ITCL,
Spain) that leads the
consortium, taking on the management and coordination responsibilities as
well as the diffusion of the results of the project. ·
An Industrial Partner (IBERNEX, Spain) that will market the solution achieved
as a result of the project, taking on its industrial exploitation and its
wide experience in development and manufacturing of complete solutions (both
HW and SW) on the basis of the application of new technologies and
innovation. ·
An SME Partner (IMAXDI,
Spain) provides its
expertise on innovative ICT solutions for e-business, and e-Health in within
the research tasks of the project. ·
Two end-users (COOSS
Marche, Italy and ESENIORS, France) that carry out the analysis of the accessibility,
the work related to the acceptance and usability of the solution from the
end-users point of view, the definition of the services provided by the
platform, the description of the technical realization of the services and
the testing and validation of all system features in real scenarios (with
real users) to verify the correct functioning of the device. |
