E2C: Express to Connect


Description

The overall objective for the E2C consortium
was to develop, test and deploy a
web service, which stimulates and facilitates
personal storytelling, and enable
interest-based connections and communication
among elders and thereby
empower them and enrich their life.
The fundamental innovation behind
the Storyville games was an initial understanding
of the relations between:
Pictures/music, gameplay and social
settings, which allow for design digital
board games that enhance social connectedness
among participating players.
Currently three games are available on
App Store:
