This study aims at understanding how changes in display's geometry might affect the appreciation of a task due to different affordances. We are also integrating the use of visual support, to understand if it supports the display's affordance or goes against it. The result indicates that higher levels of abstraction are understandable by older participants. The children showed they focused on the ergonomic features of a volume and could link a volume with the visualization and interaction of digital content. The result also shows that a complex visual support will undermine the affordance of a screen, but subtle signifiers would enhance the feature of a display and its affordance.
