There are few people with parents over the age of 60 who have not had to familiarize them with new technology -- this tablet app aims to do that in a way that is clear, safe and simple.
Called the 'Oscar Senior,' the app works to create a simplified interface for the tablet it is helping the user navigate. It has large prompts and text to account for poor eyesight and offers security features from scams, pop-ups and random alerts. This ensures that those who are not accustomed to using a tablet can still avoid viruses and other security related issues.
This tablet app works to protect and simplify processes for a demographic that may be more prone to confusion when it comes to the subject of navigating technological devices.
