• Visual Complexity, Player Experience, Performance and Physical Exertion in Motion-Based Games for Older Adults

  Jan Smeddinck, Kathrin M. Gerling, Saranat Tiemkeo · 2013 · Proceedings of the 15th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '13)

  This paper investigates how visual complexity (graphical fidelity) affects player experience, in-game performance, and physical exertion in motion-based games designed for older adults. The study is motivated by the growing use of kinesiatric serious games (KSGs) in physical…

• What Health Topics Older Adults Want to Track: A Participatory Design Study

  Jennifer L. Davidson, Carlos Jensen · 2013 · Proceedings of the 15th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '13)

  This paper presents a participatory design study investigating what health topics older adults (aged 65+) want to track using mobile health (mHealth) applications. The authors argue that most mHealth app developers fail to conduct needs assessments with older adult end users,…

• Safe Walking Technology for People with Dementia: What Do They Want?

  Kristine Holbø, Silje Bøthun, Yngve Dahl · 2013 · Proceedings of the 15th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS)

  This paper investigates how safe walking technology can be designed to meet the actual needs and preferences of people with dementia, rather than imposing surveillance-based solutions on them. The researchers worked with three people with early-stage dementia and their family…

• Web Accessibility for Older Adults: Effects of Line Spacing and Text Justification on Reading Web Pages

  Helen Petrie, Sorachai Kamollimsakul, Christopher Power · 2013 · Proceedings of the 15th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS)

  This poster paper empirically tests two common web accessibility recommendations for older adults: increased line spacing and left-only text justification. The authors note that at least 10 sets of guidelines for making websites accessible to older people exist in English alone,…

• Wheelchair-Based Game Design for Older Adults

  Kathrin M. Gerling, Regan L. Mandryk, Michael R. Kalyn · 2013 · Proceedings of the 15th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS)

  This paper addresses the design of motion-based video games that are accessible to institutionalized older adults using wheelchairs. More than half of Canadians over 65 in residential care use wheelchairs, and wheelchair use severely limits opportunities for physical activity…
