Description

This book is a guide for designers of consumer electronics grounded in research. The design of displays for older adults provides an application of psychological science. The book translates basic psychological research on aging, human factors, and human-computer interaction into a usable form for practitioners who design displays and interfaces--

This book focuses on the design of displays and user interfaces for the older user. Aging is related to complex mental, physical, and social changes. While conventional wisdom says getting older leads to a decline, the reality is that some capabilities decline with age while others remain stable or increase. This book distills decades of aging research into practical advice on the design of displays. Technology has changed dramatically since the publication of the first edition. This new edition covers cutting-edge technology design such as ubiquitous touchscreens, smart speakers, and augmented reality interfaces, among others.
