Description
Pia Scharler-Plotnik presents NV23, a table for wordless interaction across generations, in this 2025 paper. A grandchild visiting a care home may struggle to talk with a grandparent who has advanced dementia. The NV23 offers a shared activity that needs no language and has no way to be done wrong.
The table's surface is a small landscape that users fill with objects chosen for their feel, shape, or color, often from personal memory. Sessions produced ball games, sound tests of materials, and storytelling around the objects. The design exists in several looks, to test whether appearance changes its appeal. The project, still in development, comes from an artistic research team in Vienna.
