我「變成」80歲老人的一天——年齡模擬服給我的啟示:麻省理工學院的「AGNES 套裝」(Age Gain Now Empathy System,即「年齡增長,共感系統」)是一款研究和設計工具








AI 概述

麻省理工學院的「AGNES 套裝」(Age Gain Now Empathy System,即「年齡增長,共感系統」)是一款研究和設計工具,可以模擬老化帶來的生理影響,例如肌肉萎縮、關節活動度下降、視力障礙和平衡問題。這套裝透過讓老年人體驗摩擦、挫折和疲勞,幫助工程、設計和城市規劃等各個領域的人士了解他們面臨的挑戰,從而培養他們的同理心,並為創造更適合老年人的產品和環境提供參考。

AGNES 套裝的組件:

此套裝包含各種組件,用於模擬與年齡相關的各種生理限制:

加重背心:模擬肌肉萎縮和體力下降。

背帶和綁帶:限制運動並模擬脊椎壓縮。

手套:削弱抓握力並降低手部和腕部的靈活性。

有襯墊或特殊鞋款:模擬不平衡、靈活性下降並改變穿著者的步態。

護目鏡:透過模擬與年齡相關的眼部疾病(例如視力下降和管狀視野)來損害視力。

頭盔和帶子:壓迫脊柱,導致頸部僵硬和壓迫感。


MIT's "AGNES suit" (Age Gain Now Empathy System) is a research and design tool that simulates the physical effects of aging, such as muscle loss, reduced joint mobility, visual impairment, and balance issues. The suit helps people in various fields, including engineering, design, and urban planning, understand the challenges faced by older adults by allowing them to experience friction, frustration, and fatigue, thereby fostering empathy and informing the creation of more age-friendly products and environments. 
Components of the AGNES Suit:
The suit includes various components to simulate different age-related physical limitations:
  • Weighted vest: Simulates muscle loss and reduced physical strength. 
  • Harness and bands: Restrict movement and simulate spinal compression. 
  • Gloves: Weaken grip and reduce hand and wrist dexterity. 
  • Padded or special shoes: Mimic imbalance, reduced flexibility, and change the wearer's gait. 
  • Goggles: Impair vision by simulating age-related eye conditions like reduced visual acuity and tunnel vision. 
  • Helmet and straps: Compress the spine, contributing to neck stiffness and a feeling of compression.
