Poster: Teletalker - an online window to connect older adults

At the ISG I presented my poster about my research field research with the Teletalker. Field research took place from 12th - 15th June 2012 between the Day centre Age UK Barnet and the atrium Middlesex University.














Summary of main findings:
* The Teletalker worked well as an introduction for older people to online face-to-face communication
* Signage is needed to make the purpose of the Teletalker clearer
* Communication through the Teletalker worked better when there was a person at one end all the time
* Physical placement of the Teletalker was crucial for getting people to try it out and to connect older adults
