Powerful Communities…
Powerful Communities…
1996: 3 companies out of 100had a web site
2008: 8 employees out of 10 connect almost every day.
Internet keeps gaining audience as a full
media both for work and
leisure
… Getting more pervasive…
Smart phones, satellite navigation systems, televisions, game stations… the number of connected appliances able to connect with people or look-up information in the internet
anywhere anytime is increasing every day.
… With many left behind
1 person out of 3 has never
used the Internet
40% of households have no
Internet access

the younger generations and the 55+.
Connection rates dropradically with age after 55.

Among major reasons why people don’t connect:
1. They don’t see the need,
2. Access is too costly,3. They don’t have the
skills.
Internet as easy to use as…
What if connecting to one’s community was as easy as
using a normal home appliance
a washing machine, a microwave oven, a vacuum
cleaner or a phone…
?
a research association for people friendly

Our purpose Who we are Why we are different Research areas
Our role Contribution model Desired future Example projects
Web: www.autelic.org – Email: [email protected]
Our purpose
Autelic is a non-profit association working to make technology easier to use and accessible for all, especially for those of us who didn't grow up with it.
Our goal is to lower current usage barriers enough for those people to finally take part in the information society, connecting with information and other people.

Our goal is to lower current usage barriers enough for those people to finally take part in the information society, connecting with information and other people.
We believe that theprogress in ease of use towards our target users,
will be beneficial to all users.
Why we are different…
Independent,Non-Profit As a non-profit association,
we are NOT subject to the short term demands
ofshareholders and analysts.
Why we are different…
Unconstrained
Independent,Non-Profit
“When a business only has a hammer, everything looks
like a nail”
We are unconstrained by the existing products, users,
or business segments.
Hence, we can break with the past and target non-
users of current systems, try new user interfaces, new
interaction metaphors… as they won’t be conditioned to
existing ones.
Why we are different…
Unconstrained
User Centric,Exploratory
Independent,Non-Profit
True breakthroughs and new approaches require different exploratory development methods and
focus.
A true “user centric” development process cannot deliver on a pre-defined, rigid, schedule.

Based on a panel of537 participants
over 50 to 75 +40 very elderly,
we know that 50+ main motivator in using ICT is
social relationship.
Example project: Photo Messenger
Imagine a trivial device:a basic photo frame
with seeming simplicity…
Example project: Photo Messenger
On which you can share your favourite digital albums remotely and
automatically…
Example project: Photo Messenger
Hello Mom,How are you today? Love !!!
And that evolves functionalities as its
owner gets more confident…
