The team behind a pioneering research project to be showcased at Glasgow University today claim it can rectify that, improving the lives of carers and helping older and disabled people live more independent lives.
The MultiMemoHome project, a collaboration between researchers at the university's School of Computing Science and the University of Edinburgh's School of Informatics, has used technologies to harness sound, vision, smell and touch, creating interactive systems which they say can be easily understood and navigated by people with cognitive or sensory impairments.
