Abstract

In this paper we present the design and implementation of a multimodal interactive guidance system for the elderly for the use in hospital environments, which combined common design principles of conventional interactive interfaces and ageing specific characteristics. To evaluate the system we have conducted a pilot study with seven elderly persons. The experiment results are overall positive and therefore support our design decisions. On the other hand, they also reveal some context sensitive problems and advise further improvements.
