Why do we care?

In the real world, older individuals often get scared of the complexity that a single smartphone holds, leaving aside a device that can be of many uses, even to them. This project seeks to offer the elderly an accessible way to take advantage of these Android devices, according to their needs.

If the user's only desire is to make phone calls, for example, Elderoid will not bother with any other features, nor they will even be available in the first place. But if the user is interested in photography, access to camera and a photo gallery are must-have features.

The object is to develop an Android Software that is flexible in that sense and has an adequate user interface.
