| Popis: | UCAMI 2016 This paper reports an evaluation of 101 elderly people aged from 61 to 92 years to determine their ability to perform a number of gestures on multi-touch surfaces. We recruited participants at two daycare centres for elderly people in Madrid region. They used the Gesture Games tool to perform the sev-en most common activities on multi-touch surfaces (Tap, Double tap, Long press, Drag, Scale up, Scale down and Rotation). This application automatically generates a log of participant interaction. This log can be used to conduct a transparent quantitative analysis of the information. The main finding of this study is that older adults are perfectly capable of performing all seven tasks. The older adults were found to have different skills levels with respect to the tasks. For example, they found it easy to execute the Scale-down and Scale-up gestures, whereas they found it hard to perform the Double-tap gesture. Finally, the general conclusions of the study are outlined. |
