Intergenerational computer interaction in a co-creation application

This project arises as part of a larger project with researchers from the PERGAMEX project, where the need to promote intergenerational communication remotely in times of pandemic was detected. Several authors have already reaffirmed the benefits that these dynamics bring. To do this, a previous study has been carried out to analyze factors related to the interaction of the elderly and children with computers and applications. A total of 18 interviews have been carried out. The results of the previous study conclude that the elderly prefer an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, and an interaction with buttons. Children, being more used to games and their interaction, prefer both systems (direct interaction and interaction with buttons). Based on these results, and a previous analysis of the available technologies, a web system has been designed and developed for the implementation of a game that encourages intergenerational communication. As future work, the necessary activities for the validation of the proposed system must be carried out.
