Now Bremen Hemelingen is going to get the district guide for older citizens
by Silja Weisser
Only one touch on the display and the information is there. The digital district guide for older adults should be easy to use and accessible for everyone – also for people without private internet access. For this purpose, a computer table is openly available now. The prototype – knocked together by students from the Institute for Information Management Bremen (Ifib) at Bremen University is placed at the Café Blocksberg, located at Max-Säume-Straße 88 in Osterholz Blockdiek. Afterwards it is going to the Café Gabriely at Otto-Brenner-Allee 44/46 in Osterholz. From there it goes traveling to further places.
