I think video games for the elderly (eldery? sheesh!) are a great idea but what I'd love to see are some innovative tools that would give seniors an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to their community. For example, giving someone who has a visual impairment some kind of "OnStar" device with two way voice and a video camera so that if they were standing at a bus stop they could press a button and the call would be routed to my elderly mother who could tell the person when the number 134 was pulling in (and help them navigate to the door). That's just something off the top of my head and probably not terribly practical but it's just an example of how someone with limited mobility could reach out and participate in the wider world.
