    Abstract

    Despite the ever-increasing aging world population, most interactive entertainment and fun technologies are not specifically being designed for older adults. However, this trend is starting to change, particularly in the area of entertainment for health and wel-being. Therefore, this workshop aims to bring together researchers, designers, developers and entrepreneurs interested in the design, development, evaluation, commercialization and deployment of entertainment technologies for the aging population, targeting their needs and promoting their health and well-being.
