This project will find new opportunities for developing assistive products that could better meet the actual affective needs of the users whose self-care abilities are diminishing gradually due to aging, illness or some other reasons. The project explores the potentials of visio-haptic Augmented Reality technology in creating a design setting in which co-design could be practiced through integrating the sensuousness, interaction and participation principles in an an attempt to motivate user engagement from the project outset.
