摘要
The fast aging of many societies and their increasing reliance on computers create a compelling need to reconsider older users' interactions with computers. Changes in perceptual and motor skill capabilities that accompany the aging process bring important implications for the design of human-computer interfaces. This study reviews the recent research literature on computer input devices and their adequacy to the elderly user. Significant findings from evaluative studies are summarized, and strengths and weaknesses of the different input devices are outlined. Recommendations for the design and selection of input devices are provided.
