I am very excited to announce that from December 2017, I will be embarking on a new project, funded by an ARC Future Fellowship, titled Emerging Technologies for Enrichment in Old Age: A Critical Perspective.
The four-year project will investigate older adults' experiences with emerging technologies used for social and emotional enrichment (e.g., virtual reality and social robots). The project adopts a critical perspective to examine both the opportunities and challenges associated with these technologies in aged care settings. Findings will inform the future ethical design and use of emerging technologies to benefit the social and emotional well-being of older adults.
