Designing User Interfaces for Older Adults.
Hutchison, Douglas; And Others
Educational Gerontology, v23 n6 p497-513 Sep 1997
Of 45 adults over 50 who had computer experience, 44% reported difficulty reading screens, 53% were frustrated by complex software, and 27% had difficulty with the mouse. The physical characteristics of aging should be considered in designing special software features such as dynamic text resizing and menu buttons instead of pull-down menus. (SK)
