The cultural gap between the young and the old has been enlarging in our modern age, especially with respect to the use and adoption of technology. Children nowadays enjoy playing computer games while there is very little participation by the elderly in this entertainment area. This paper introduces "Age Invaders", a novel game which allows the elderly to play harmoniously together with children in physical space. The system also allows natural social-physical interactions amongst generations, both physically and through the internet.
