Ageing is associated with a multitude of biological, cognitive, and social changes that impact the use of technology. These issues can seriously influence usability. However, age also brings new opportunities, and for example increasing spare time, family connections, and learning/travel opportunities that well designed mobile apps could support.
Same as young adults, silver hairs are also eager to engage into the digital era to enjoy the benefits made by modern technologies. However, few design effort is made to enhance current designs and products more silver-friendly, which in some aspects, hampers both the accessibility and the actual user experience.
IxAP (affiliated IDHF) focus on gathering researchers from multi fields related to Human-computer Interaction to draw broad discussions, in-depth investigations, and implementations for both the designer side and the customer side (especially for older adults).
IxAP & IDHF 2014 was held by Center for Human Engaged Computing (CHEC), Kochi University of Technology (KUT), Japan. IxAP & IDHF 2016 was held by Center for Human Engaged Computing (CHEC), Kochi University of Technology (KUT), Japan. You can also see IxAP & IDHF 2016 submissions on the ACM Digital Library IxAP & IDHF 2018 will be held in Qingdao China, co-located with ICVRC and CHINAVR 2018
Authors are required to submit abstracts for their presentation at IxAP & IDHF 2018.
The purpose of the abstracts aims at coordinating efforts on aging-related important themes specifically:
1. To strengthen the state-of-art by synthesizing research efforts that are presently fragmented
over various disciplines 2. To investigate user behaviors when manipulating smart devices and services (e.g. eye-hand coordination, cognitive load, motor control, etc.) 3. To validate the influence of using modern technologies in preventing physical and mental declines (e.g., serious game, VR, meditation, etc.) 4. To develop a set of research practices and design guidelines to senior-centred computing from both functionalities and aesthetics aspect 5. To build a community by bringing experts together from different disciplines including HCI,
Cognitive Psychology, Gerontology, and Accessibility domains 6. To raise awareness among the community people in which issues about older adult have not
been well considered.
