Tao-Gei

"TaoGei" aims to two main purposes: (1) aims to train the memory and nervous system of the elderly and (2) aims to trigger the episodic memories of the elderly through displaying some familiar local delicacies in their eyes. "TaoGei" is based on many nostalgic elements and behaviors. We use the local delicacies in Taiwan as the game topic; in the game, users are the boss in the roadside stands. Since the elderly seem to remember more in their past life and familiar with this consumption patterns, we hope it could make them memorizing easily and more receptive to this mode of training.

In Taiwan, back in the 1960s, there used to be many roadside stands selling fast food, a common feature of developing societies and representative of people's strong work ethic.

Eating at neighborhood roadside stands is therefore an evocative memory for those who grew up around this era in Taiwan, and it is something with which they identify.
