	aids to give young people an impression of physical limitations of old people Person is dressed in age suit AgeMan. A visor restricts her field of vision, two optical foils reduce visual acuity and change colour perception. A two-piece suit, containing weights on arms and legs, gives the wearer an impression of the diminishing strength in old age. Gloves simulate decreasing flexion of the hand and fingers (palmar flexion) as well as decreasing dexterity and sensitivity of the fingers. Andreas Jaeger, presenter of the Austrian science magazine "Quantensprung", explains the functionality of an age simulation suit using the example of the AgeExplorer agesuit.
