DEMO HOUR: CreaTable

CreaTable is an accessible tangible system for people with aphasia to create and curate digital content. Users compose multimedia content through a process of constrained creativity by manipulating word tiles, picture objects, and music pucks on a tabletop surface. An equivalent digital composition can be viewed, played, and shared with others. CreaTable was co-designed with people with aphasia. It enables them to create content that they would not otherwise be able to produce.

CreaTable was developed by the INCA Project, funded by EPSRC EP/P025587/1 in collaboration with the Stroke Association and Dyscover.

Tangible content objects are arranged on CreaTable and played using a control at the front of the table. Users refine their content interactively while it is being played.
