“…Furthermore, it is a relatively easy task that can be operated via multimodal interaction. Moreover, daily and recreational use of tablet devices, such as photography, has not received much attention (Carreira et al 2016), especially when considering older users (Ferron et al, 2019).…”

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.

“…In conjunction with the above, several studies have proposed new interactional features based on older adults' characteristics. Ferron et al [44] suggested that hollow gestures could make interactions with older adults more intuitive and inclusive, thereby increasing the frequency of usage. Nevertheless, this finding did not account for older adults with physical and cognitive impairments beyond a certain age who also suffer from chronic diseases that can cause difficulties with physical coordination.…”

This study aims to expand upon the understanding of the multifaceted usability issues older adults encounter when using intelligent products. This was achieved by synthesizing extant research findings to come to an understanding of why usability issues still exist in intelligent products for older adults in China, even when appropriate design features are incorporated. This review was conducted by searching the literature on the Scopus, Springer, ScienceDirect, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases as well as Google Scholar using the terms “older adults in China”, “intelligent products”, and “usability.” Forty-three studies from between 2007 and 2022 were included in the review. The results reveal three salient aspects directly related to the usability issues of intelligent products experienced by older adults in China: (1) the usefulness of the product; (2) the ease of use of the product; and (3) the impact of the policy. The first two impact the effectiveness of the use of intelligent products, while the lack of policy intervention in the management system of intelligent products results in product clutter. This review provides insights for designers by proposing a conceptual framework for an intelligent product service platform for older adults, which will help researchers and research teams better understand the usability issues according to older adults’ feedback on intelligent products. We suggest a unified standard for intelligent product management in the future that is compatible across systems and reduces older adults’ learning stress.

“…Humans usually wave spontaneously to get some one's attention and start communication [87]. The proposed detector mimics this natural behavior of humans and the interaction system is designed to be initialized when the user is intentionally waving at the camera.…”

“…This ensures that the proposed framework reaches a global optimization of accuracy-efficiency tradeoff. Gestures proposed are dynamic and physical/deictic gestures[87]. These gestures are in line with human cognition and behavior in everyday life, which makes the HCI as natural as an interaction between humans.…”
