User Involved Design of a Remote Control

Gerontechnology, Technolgy and Informatics

Author: Vorst, Kanis, Marinissen
Abstract: The paper describes user involvement in design practice in form of a field study concerning remote controll units.
In order to find out to what extent elderly users, with respect to their diminishing physical, perceptual and mental abilities, can handle current remote controll units, a field study has been carried out into the way remote controls are actually used by the elderly, and into the use problems that occur.
