“…The results of this study have important theoretical implications because they extend both gaming and gaze control research in the area of interaction experience [9,14,17]. The results also extend HCI research that focuses on the impact of generation on user experience [5].…”

With the advances of technology, gaze is becoming increasingly an attractive and viable interaction method in games. In particular, gaze is likely to provide a natural way of interaction in some games. However, little work has been done to design games that use gaze as an interaction method and test users' reactions to it. Additionally, despite the fact that Generation Y and Baby Boomers form a sizable population of gamers, little work has been done to see if users' generation can influence the experience of gaze interaction in a game. To address this need we developed a gaze-enabled memory game. We then compared the experience of the newly developed gazeenabled game between Generation Y and Baby Boomer users.

“…Previous work, though limited, has investigated touch gesture interfaces of applications that support older adults in activities such as remote communication (Leonardi et al, 2010) and photo sharing (Apted et al, 2006). Some work suggested that touch-screens might be beneficial for older adults (Lee et al, 2009;Findlater et al, 2013;Schneider et al, 2008), who could complete a range of touch gestures including point, drag and pinch (Kobayashi et al, 2011). However, some studies found that a touch-screen was more difficult than a mouse for older users to manipulate (Florines et al, 2007;Wood et al, 2005).…”

“…Results suggested that participants using the touchscreen terminal were less anxious compared with those using the standard keyboard terminal. Schneider et al (2008) also compared different input devices including a touchscreen with a mouse, or eye-gaze plus keyboard, in sample ranging from 60 to 72. Participants were required to click inside a start stimulus (circle) and then inside a target (square) that appeared on a screen, or to move a stimulus (rectangle) toward a target (another rectangle) on a touchscreen.…”

Older Adults Perceptions of Technology and Barriers to Interacting with Tablet Computers: A Focus Group Study

2017

BackgroundNew technologies provide opportunities for the delivery of broad, flexible interventions with older adults. Focus groups were conducted to: (1) understand older adults’ familiarity with, and barriers to, interacting with new technologies and tablets; and (2) utilize user-engagement in refining an intervention protocol.MethodsEighteen older adults (65–76 years old; 83.3% female) who were novice tablet users participated in discussions about their perceptions of and barriers to interacting with tablets. We conducted three separate focus groups and used a generic qualitative design applying thematic analysis to analyse the data. The focus groups explored attitudes toward tablets and technology in general. We also explored the perceived advantages and disadvantages of using tablets, familiarity with, and barriers to interacting with tablets. In two of the focus groups, participants had previous computing experience (e.g., desktop), while in the other, participants had no previous computing experience. None of the participants had any previous experience with tablet computers.ResultsThe themes that emerged were related to barriers (i.e., lack of instructions and guidance, lack of knowledge and confidence, health-related barriers, cost); disadvantages and concerns (i.e., too much and too complex technology, feelings of inadequacy, and comparison with younger generations, lack of social interaction and communication, negative features of tablets); advantages (i.e., positive features of tablets, accessing information, willingness to adopt technology); and skepticism about using tablets and technology in general. After brief exposure to tablets, participants emphasized the likelihood of using a tablet in the future.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that most of our participants were eager to adopt new technology and willing to learn using a tablet. However, they voiced apprehension about lack of, or lack of clarity in, instructions and support. Understanding older adults’ perceptions of technology is important to assist with introducing it to this population and maximize the potential of technology to facilitate independent living.
