“…During dragging tasks, slower movements can be related to the fact that the hand occludes a part of the screen [11] or the perception of the necessary friction to move the target. Pen interaction could be used to solve this problem but only few studies evaluated pen interaction for older users.…”

This study investigates the accuracy of drag-and-drop interaction for older adults by analyzing the number of supplementary attempts for positioning a target during the execution of tactile puzzle games on two different screen sizes, tablet and smartphone, with finger and pen interaction. 24 older subjects (aged 65 to 86) participated of the experiment. The results showed that there is a significant effect of the interaction techniques during interaction on smartphone. Subjects were more accurate during pen interaction on both screen sizes. Age effects were significant but subjects aged 80 years old or oldest sometimes performed better than subjects aged 70 to 79 years old, especially during pen interaction. This study shows that drag-and-drop is an efficient technique for moving targets even on small touchscreen devices and pen interaction may help older users to execute more accurate drag-and-drop interaction on touchscreen devices.

“…For instance, social robots or telepresence technology are two representative examples of multimodal systems believed to assist and support older users (Munteanu and Salah 2017). Mobile technology is another field in which multimodal interaction is experimented, given the opportunity that mobile context offers (Lemmelä et al, 2008). Before listing the design trade-offs that multimodal interaction might bring to the technology, we summarize a list of considerations to be taken into account when designing technology for older adults.…”

“…Older participants can feel fatigued more easily than younger ones, especially when using gestural interaction or moving their upper limbs. Attention should be paid to avoid as much as possible additional risks from injury, pain or fatigue (Gerling, Klauser, and Niesenhaus 2011;Lepicard and Vigouroux 2012).…”

“…This might be true for some combinations of multimodal channels. For example, it has been shown that older adults find some modalities or combination of modalities too complex to use when using multimodal applications (Neves et al 2015;Naumann, Wechsung, and Hurtienne 2010;Lepicard and Vigouroux 2012). On the other hand, designing interaction with simplicity in mind might force a compromise on functionality (Norman 2010), and this holds true also for multimodal interaction.…”

This paper presents key aspects and trade-offs that designers and Human-Computer Interaction practitioners might encounter when designing multimodal interaction for older adults. The paper gathers literature on multimodal interaction and assistive technology, and describes a set of design challenges specific for older users. Building on these main design challenges, four trade-offs in the design of multimodal technology for this target group are presented and discussed. To highlight the relevance of the trade-offs in the design process of multimodal technology for older adults, two of the four reported trade-offs are illustrated with two user studies that explored mid-air and speech-based interaction with a tablet device. The first study investigates the design trade-offs related to redundant multimodal commands in older, middle-aged and younger adults, whereas the second one investigates the design choices related to the definition of a set of mid-air one-hand gestures and voice input commands. Further reflections highlight the design trade-offs that such considerations bring in the process, presenting an overview of the design choices involved and of their potential consequences.

“…Page (2014) found most of the older participants could not perform the scrolling task on touchscreens and this might be due to the physical design of user interfaces. Lepicard and Vigouroux (2012) reported that older participants seemed to sacrifice speed for accuracy about the gesture control on touchscreens. Lepicard and Vigouroux (2012) reported that older participants seemed to sacrifice speed for accuracy about the gesture control on touchscreens.…”
