Design for voluntary and ongoing intergenerational daily interaction

-Development of collaboration promotion system through avatar development and its effectiveness verification-

Abstract

In recent years, attention has been gaining attention for interchanges between children and the elderly, but in the present situation it is a problem to stay at single-shot event exchanges. Therefore, we developed a system that collaborates with elderly people and children through nurturing avatars in order to carry out continuous daily exchanges, not only for event exchanges but also for verifying the effect. As a result of using this system, the amount of mutual conversation time increased compared to the exchange that has been done conventionally. Therefore, it was suggested that this system has the effect of promoting exchange.
