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.
