Jargon watch: rehabilitainment

By at 9:20 am Thursday, Mar 10

Great jargon-watch term: "rehabilitainment" (games used in rehabilitation programs).
Namco has also begun working on "barrier-free entertainment," meaning entertainment products for helping elderly and physically impaired people. Namco's first "rehabilitainment" ("rehabilitation + entertainment") product is the TalkingAid, a vocal keyboard. Taskagi expects the company to expand into the educational space.
