Abstract :
The Sharetouch, which is a multi-touch social interaction system, aims to enable the elderly to engage the benefits of IT and enhance their social interaction among those older persons living in the community. Unlike most of the in-the-market digital devices, the Sharetouch attempts to merge the digital desktop and physical table into one, and has extra capabilities. Hence, a 52-inch large share-display system is developed for the purpose of accommodating multi-users simultaneously on a table surface shown in this paper.
