Age Invaders Intergenerational Entertainment

Age Invaders is a novel interactive intergeneration social-physical game which allows the elderly to play harmoniously together with children in the physical space while parents can participate in the game play in real time remotely in the virtual world through the internet. Traditional digital games are designed for the young where normally the player sits in front of a computer or game console. Unlike standard computer games, Age Invaders brings the game play to a physical platform, and requires and encourages physical body movements rather than constraining the user in front of a computer for many hours. Age Invaders is specially designed for a harmonious game play between the elderly and young. Adjusting game properties automatically compensate for potential elderly disadvantages, for example slower reaction time and slow movement.
