Technology assisted living project showcased

A pioneering research project aimed at developing technology to help older and disabled people live more independent lives was showcased at the University of Glasgow earlier in the year. The University’s association with using technology for assisted living will continue following a successful bid to evaluate the success of a £37m national project. Based within the School of Computing Science, the MultiMemoHome project has created a series of ‘multimodal’ technologies which harness sound, vision, smell and touch to create interactive systems which are easily understood and navigated by people with cognitive or sensory impairments. The School is active in the teaching and research of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), included as an optional module on many MSc programmes.
