title = "Portrait pigeon: An interactive photo messaging wall for seniors",
abstract = "Considerable research has studied online communication for older adults. For some seniors, age-related disability presents barriers to using computers and going online. For others, lack of experience or lack of interest deters them from keeping in touch using modern communication platforms such as social media sites. Physical communication artifacts, such as printed photos, support important forms of offline communication for older adults, and we examine how physical photos can be augmented to facilitate lightweight online social communication. This approach embeds online messaging into a familiar and culturally-relevant artifact, physical photos. This paper presents Portrait Pigeon, a ubiquitous lightweight messaging platform for seniors that integrates in-home photo displays into online communication.",
