Abstract

Direct pen-based input takes full advantage of hand-eye coordination, and offers a familiar form of interaction. Despite these advantages, many older users experience difficulties. Thus, the goal of this dissertation is to identify the sources of user difficulty across the adult lifespan, and to design and evaluate new interaction techniques to specifically address these difficulties.
