Evaluation of some user interfaces for elderly persons

摘要

We have already proposed a new concept of "universal multimedia access" intended to narrow the digital divide by providing appropriate multimedia expressions according to users' (mental and physical) abilities, computer facilities, and network environments. Previous work has evaluated some types of multimedia user interfaces only for younger persons who can utilize keyword search functions. In this paper, we describe several multimedia contents particularly for elderly persons' aid and evaluate them based on a questionnaire survey.
