“…Current touchscreen smartphones have improved the usability for older adults over traditional phones, but they still have much room for improvement, since older adults are often neglected as target users [23]. Touch interfaces have facilitated the access to digital information for older adults, thanks to improved learnability over traditional Window, Icon, Menu, Pointer (WIMP) interfaces [24], increasing the diffusion of Internet and other digital services among older adults.…”

Abstract:The Senior Living Lab (SLL) is a transdisciplinary research platform created by four Universities that aims at promoting ageing well at home through the co-creation of innovative products, services and practices with older adults. While most living labs for ageing well are focused on Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), this social laboratory adopts a transdisciplinary approach, bringing together designers, economists, engineers and healthcare professionals to develop multiple forms of social innovation using participatory methods. The SLL is based on an ecological approach, connecting professionals and users in a cooperative network and involving all of the stakeholders concerned with ageing well, such as existing associations, business entities and policy-makers. Three main themes for the co-design of products and services were identified at the beginning of the SLL conception, each sustained by a major business partner: healthy nutrition to cope with frailty, improved autonomous mobility to foster independence and social communication to prevent isolation. This article shows the innovative transdisciplinary approach of the SLL and discusses the particular challenges that emerged during the first year of its creation, investigating the role of ICTs when designing products and services for older adults.

“…과거 가상 키보드의 등장은 터치 스크린에 그래픽 형태의 키를 띄 어주는 형태로 스타일러스 펜을 이용하여 텍스트 입력이 가능 하게 만들어주었다 (Smith and Zhai, 2001). 그러나 과거의 감압 식 터치 스크린(resistive touchscreen)과 달리 현재는 손으로 세 심한 터치가 가능한 정전식 터치 스크린(capacitive touchscreen) 이 선호되면서, 이러한 배경에서 정전식 터치 스크린 기반의 다양한 스마트 기기들이 등장, 손 입력을 이용한 키보드 방식 에 관해 성능 비교 연구가 다수 진행되었다 (Page, 2014). 국내 연구로는 스마트 폰에서 키보드를 통해 문자를 입력할 때 어 떠한 손을 사용하는 것이 선호되는지를 비교하는 연구가 있었 An input method that change button shapes based on prediction, so that they get larger and easier to hit Keypurr An input method that has only 17 keys based on the QWERTY layout 으며 (Song et al, 2011), 국외에는 태블릿 PC에서의 키보드 레 이아웃과 위치에 따른 성능을 비교하는 연구가 진행되었다 (Trudeau et al, 2013).…”

Pen-based interaction is universally available on smart devices and especially on Tablet PCs. Previous studies compared various input methods like fingers, a mouse or a stylus pen on PCs or on a touchscreen based devices such as smart phones. At the same time, various soft keyboard applications are being developed on application stores of smart devices. However, these previous studies did not suggest which one is a suitable keyboard application for Tablet PCs when users perform a certain interaction as input type. In this study, we compared two types of input methods (finger and pen) and three types of soft keyboard applications (QWERTY, Gesture and Swype) in a Tablet PC using performance measurements (accuracy and input speed) and discussed what types of applications showed better performance with each interaction on tablet PC. From these results, recommendations for the keyboard types depending on the input methods on tablet PCs were developed. †
