In an effort to re-imagine the out of the box experience and make it easier for older people to understand new technologies, this collaborative group has indeed created a couple imaginative solutions. The first solution being a book with cut outs where the physical components rest while instructions surround the components. The user is then guided through the setup process until finally it is ready to use. Another idea was to include cards, which when tapped on the device, provide instructions for a given task. Lastly, a map was designed which allows users to familiarize themselves with the menu system without diving into layers and layers of menus. This project was a collaboration between Clara Gaggero, Adrian Westaway, Samsung Design Europe, and the Helen Hamlyn Center.
