A Function Based Approach towards Adaptive Interfaces for Elderly Users

摘要

Recent information technologies may support elderly people in living independently even when they become immobile. Most computer systems, however, are hard to use when age-related impairments increase. While sensory and motor deficits can be alleviated by built in accessibility tools, cognitive alterations with increasing age are often not addressed. Here, we present an approach that intends to evaluate the adaptation of interfaces based on individual capabilities.
