Topic
This workshop discusses the principles and strategies to design and evaluate mobile user interfaces for the ageing population. The topic is timely, as the mobile device has become the most widely used computer and at the same time the number of older people will soon exceed the number of children worldwide. However, most HCI research addresses younger adults and has not benefited older adults. This workshop welcomes contributions to empirical studies, theories, design and evaluation of mobile interfaces for older adults. The workshop has three goals: (i) to map the state-of-art, (ii) to build a community gathering experts from related areas, and (iii) to raise awareness of the challenges and research opportunities in this field within the SIGCHI community.

About the Organizers
Sayan Sarcar is Research Associate at Kochi University of Technology, Japan. His research area includes mobile-based interaction of older adults and gaze-based interaction.
Cosmin Munteanu is an Assistant Professor at the Institute for Communication, Culture, Information, and Technology (University of Toronto at Mississauga), and Co-Director of the Technologies for Ageing Gracefully lab. Cosmin’s multidisciplinary research activities include developing applications that improve access to information and support learning, such as for elders whose enjoyment of life and participation in society could be better supported by advances in interactive assistive technologies.
Jussi Jokinen is Postdoctoral researcher at Aalto University, Finland. His research area includes cognitive science, user experience, and HCI, specifically studying motion in HCI and the effect of age on the use of mobile devices.
Antti Oulasvirta is Associate Professor at Aalto University, where he leads the User Interfaces group. His interests lie at the intersection of computational methods in design and modeling of interactive behavior. He is an associate editor of International Journal of Human-Computer Studies.
Chaklam Silpasuwanchai is Research Associate at Kochi University of Technology, Japan. His research interest includes HCI design and interaction.
Neil Charness is the William G Chase Professor of Psychology and Director of the Institute for Successful Longevity at Florida State University. His research with CREATE colleagues focuses on human factors approaches to design and use of technology by older adults.
Mark Dunlop is a Senior Lecturer at Strathclyde University, Glasgow, where he leads the Mobiquitous Lab. He is an associate editor of Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, Steering Committee Secretary for MobileHCI and a Subcommittee Chair for CHI 2016 and CHI 2017.
Xiangshi Ren is Professor and Director of the Center for Human-Engaged Computing at Kochi University of Technology. Prof. Ren has been working on fundamental studies in the field of human-computer Interaction (HCI) for over twenty years. His research interests include all aspects of human-computer interaction.
