Pen and Display : A Multimodal Interaction Approach for Older Office Employees

Abstract

Pen and paper are still common tools in the daily work routine, especially of older office employees. In this position paper we present "Organio", a concept of combining (analogue) pen and paper interaction and page tracking with a digital display. This novel digitally-enhanced pen and paper solution relies on a page tracking mechanism to provide digital content to the selected page in an analogue calendar. Building on a recent case study research on older computer workers and related work we describe a first calendar mock-up enhanced with a digital display, an interaction concept, and a setup for evaluating the proposed solution in a Wizard of Oz study. We conclude with ideas for future study concepts to investigate the overall user experience, user acceptance and possible form factors. Moreover using the Wizard of Oz approach we aim for gathering user expectations and possible usage scenarios.
