Abstract

This paper presents the results of an interface evaluation of Termoquiz, an educational game for seniors, developed for mobile phone. This study aimed to evaluate whether the usability metrics recommended for application interface for desktops or notebooks, considering the seniors, are also valid for cell phones. The choice of cell phones was based on research results that indicate that elderly people have less aversion against cell phones than they have against computers [2]. The results point to the need of interface adjustments to improve older users experience.
