Anura: Enhanced Engagement for Grandparents and Grandchildren with Language Barriers
Immigration provides opportunities, but survival priorities can limit secondary language development. As grandchildren adopt the language of their new country, they lose proficiency in their heritage language, creating a disconnect with their grandparents and a loss of cultural identity. Anura is a dual-screen activity device with projection touch sensor mats designed to improve communication during shared activities across generations with language barriers. It offers real-time translations and continuous display of both languages, helping users gain exposure for enhanced learning. It also serves as a keepsake creation tool, preserving content and photo memories.
