“…In case of disagreement, the researchers consulted two other researchers (SB and SvH) to reach consensus. The framework of codes was based on the results of a prior literature review on "Participant Responses to Physical, Open-ended Interactive Digital Artworks" [10]. The framework distinguishes between human-human and human-artwork responses, each divided into verbal, physical and emotional/mental responses.…”

The goal of this study was (1) to determine whether and how nursing home residents with dementia respond to the interactive art installation in general and (2) to identify whether responses change when the content type and, therefore, the nature of the interaction with the artwork changes. The interactive art installation 'VENSTER' evokes responses in nursing home residents with dementia, illustrating the potential of interactive artworks in the nursing home environment. Frequently observed responses were naming, recognizing or asking questions about depicted content and how the installation worked, physically gesturing towards or tapping on the screen and tapping or singing along to the music. It seemed content matters a lot. When VENSTER is to be used in routine care, the choice of a type of content is critical to the intended experience/usage in practice. In this study, recognition seemed to trigger memory and (in most cases) a verbal reaction, while indistinctness led to asking for more information. When (initially) coached by a care provider, residents actively engaged physically with the screen. Responses differed between content types, which makes it important to further explore different types of content and content as an interface to provide meaningful experiences for nursing home residents. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONVENSTER can facilitate different types of responses ranging from verbal reactions to active physical engagement. The choice of a type of content is critical to the intended experience/usage in practice. Activating content seems suitable for use as a meaningful experience during the spare time in between existing activities or therapy. Sessions with interactive content are short (avg. 30 mins) and intense and can therefore potentially be used as an activating therapy, activity or exercise. In order to actively engage residents with dementia, the role of the care provider seems very important. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…A framework was used to structure the coded responses, which emerged from the results of a literature review on “Participant responses to physical, open-ended interactive digital artworks” (Luyten et al , 2017) and has previously been used to structure the responses of nursing home residents in relation to the interactive artwork VENSTER (Luyten et al , 2018) (Figure 2). The framework presents a structure in which the most common responses of people who interact with an open-ended interactive artwork (such as the CRDL) can be placed.…”

The aim of this study was to describe whether and how groups of nursing home residents respond to the interactive object 'the CRDL'. The CRDL can translate touches between people into sounds. It recognises the type of touch and adjusts the produced sound accordingly. Design/Methodology/Approach This was as an observational explorative study. Responses were coded and analysed using an existing theoretical framework. Findings The CRDL creates an atmosphere of playfulness and curiosity. It lowers the threshold to touch, provides an incentive to touch and encourages to experiment with different types of touches on arms and hands. The sounds the CRDL produces sometimes trigger memories and provide themes to start and support conversation. Involving a (large) group of nursing home residents to interact with the CRDL is challenging. Research limitations/implications To fully understand the potential of the CRDL, the following is suggested: (1) studying different group compositions and individual sessions; (2) exploring the effects of tailored content adjusted to individual preferences and/or stages of cognition; and (3) examining the effects of using the CRDL on the general wellbeing of nursing home residents. Practical implications The CRDL can help caregivers to use touch to make contact with groups of their residents. A session should be guided by an experienced caregiver. Some familiarisation and practice with the CRDL are recommended and a quiet environment is advised. Originality/value This paper demonstrates the potential of interactive objects, such as the CRDL, in the nursing home.
