“Technology may be able to play a role in improving the quality of life for Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers. We are evaluating the feasibility of an information appliance with the goal of alleviating repetitive questioning behaviour, a contributing factor to caregiver stress. Interviews were conducted with persons with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers to determine the nature of the repetitive questioning behaviour, the information needs of patients, and the interaction abilities of both the patients and the caregivers. We report results of these interviews and discuss the challenges of requirements gathering with persons with Alzheimer's disease and the feasibility of introducing an information appliance to this population.”

Walczak, Marek, McAllister, Michael and Segen, Jakub (2004): Dialog Table. In: Proceedings of DIS04: Designing Interactive Systems: Processes, Practices, Methods, & Techniques 2004. p. 311. Available online

“Dialog Table is a shared interface where you use hand gestures to discover a museum's collection. Several people can gather around and together explore the table's movies, narratives and 3D journeys. The table provides an opportunity for people to discuss with each other their thoughts on what they have seen. Several teen beta-testers said they wanted their desk at home to work just like the table. The table can work in situations as varied as hospital kiosks, conference rooms, collaborative design stations, game rooms, bedrooms...Dialog Table was commissioned by the Walker Art Center through an international design competition to promote social interactions among visitors, to provide access to the Walker's multidisciplinary collections, and to facilitate learning about art. The table was designed by Marek Walczak, an artist and architect, Michael McAllister, an industrial designer and Jakub Segen, a leader in recognition systems. http://dialogtable.com.”
