Golden Age Expo 2016

Jan 2016

In the end of Jan 2016, we brought the Human Spirograph experience to the Golden Age Expo 2016. The experience was part of the “Ageing Bodies Study”, our on-going engagement with Hong Kong’s senior citizens. The project aims to develop interesting ways to collect ergonomic data and engage senior citizens, collecting their bathroom behaviour and habits through interactive and creative means.

The data collection process is designed in a way that the older people who are contributing their bodies for measurement could be more involved, which enables the participants to relate and visually understand body movements and capabilities.

The database resulting from this study will be valuable in order to understand the general profile of this older generation in Hong Kong. It could also be invaluable for prospecting future designs for the ageing population and forming a community to discuss evidence-based ageing issues. At the Expo we also showcased the works of Fapopo as an example of active ageing.
