In order to accelerate this field, further progresses of the researches on 2D/3D video data distribution and processing are necessary. The aim of this organized session is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on this hot field. We have been organizing OS-VDP session since 2019. |

| Abstract: |
This session focuses on research linking the wellness and quality of life of older people with issues of wearable assistive technologies. Some of the challenges faced by the aging population include the lack of physical and cognitive abilities, need to age at home, and to live independently. The focus is on the design of interactions for the older adults, with the aim of creating a positive and engaging user environment, and that address as follows: Human-computer interface, User-centered development, Using technology to promote creativity and self-esteem, Technologies to help older adults manage their health, and Health and well-being at home. |
