Developing a Multimodal Interface for the Elderly
Open accessAbstract
The elderly remain excluded from technology, since they regard traditional computer interfaces as overly technical and difficult to use. However, the older users consider other forms of interaction easier to use – like touch and gesture recognition interfaces. Regarding the touch interfaces, we focused on text-entry tasks and developed and tested 5 virtual QWERTY keyboard variants in order to improve text entry speed and accuracy on tablet devices. Preliminary user tests with young adults revealed that soft keyboards without visual changes remain the fastest method for text entry, and allowed us to rule out the least promising variants. Regarding gesture recognition, we developed regular gestures as well as alternative functionalities based on the motion sensing device: user and ambient sensing. These features allow to create a more intelligent system that reacts to the user and environment without explicit interaction. In the near future, we will perform tests for both interaction modalities with older adults.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
