起動 Get Up

by Chan Pui Yan, CPY

As for many people, they put their entire lives into work. Throughout their lives, they want to be good supporters in their family, achievers and contributors to society. When people getting old and retired, they cannot find their role and entrust and start feeling loss. Over time it will affect their mental health.

Therefore, in this project, I want to design a ‘Digital Clubhouse’ which is called ‘Get Up’. It is an online platform that provides different courses and interest classes information especially for the young old who are 50 to 70 years old. There are also some mini-games and challenges for train up their concentration, and allowing them to enter the flow state through mini-games or learning their favourite interest classes. There is also a forum so that the retired groups have a chance to make some new friends with a common interest and then broaden their social circle.

Hopefully the young old can use this platform to explore their interests and find new living sustenance so that they can improve their daily flow experience while learning what they love, and they get satisfaction from the new skills and knowledge they have learned, thereby enhance their well being.

很多人把人生寄託在工作,一生都希望成為家庭支柱和作出貢獻。而長者退休後,他們開始失去了寄托及找不到自己的身份價值。

因而出現失落感,影響精神健康。

所以我設計了一個「虛擬會所」,名為“起動”。

專為長者提供不同的課程,亦有專注力小遊戲及挑戰,透過遊戲或學習自己喜愛的興趣以誘發心流體驗。另有討論區讓他們有一個因愛好而相聚的機會。

希望他們去探索自己的興趣,找到新的生活寄託,學習自己所喜愛的事,而提升心流體驗,從學習到的新技能和知識中獲得滿足和快樂。
