A comparison of age difference reaction to computer interface

Abstract

In this work, a simplified interface system for education of people with disabilities is presented. This platform allows the control of different tools (PC games, robot, and electric wheelchair) using different interfaces (mouse, joysticks, etc.). This interface system can be automatically reconfigured to match user's ability, and it is operated locally or remotely through the internet. Saving of experimental progress data for later analysis can be done. Quantitative indicators are defined for evaluation purposes and to determine the needed assistance and adaptation. The system is tested on different age groups for people without physical disability. Results are presented and discussed.

Assistive technologies at home and in the workplace—a field of research for exercise science and human movement science

“…This requires workplace adjustments and the design of adequate user interactions [15]. When designing for elderly workers in production environments, human-computer interaction has to become more natural and user centred.…”
