Abstract

This paper describes the challenges faced by designers in creating accessible systems for the elderly. CARSE, an assessment tool, which has been synthesized and empirically validated of the semantic efficacy of interface metaphor, is used to evaluate two systems that were designed for elderly use. In addition, the paper outlines a tentative model for the design of accessible systems for the elderly.
