In this paper we present how we applied and analyzed multimodality in design of tangible communication systems for elderly. First we define six categories of multimodality (aural, visual, tactile, gesture, posture, and space), which we integrate in our design processes and design artifacts. We illustrate how user interaction has been established, especially when multimodality is central to our approach. We also discuss multimodal design in context of user experiences, user-centered design, and participatory design approaches. We show the added value and change of focus through multimodality in design processes. We analyze our findings before we conclude our paper.
