Cognitive Care and Guidance for Active Aging
Goals of the workshop
Interdisciplinary AmI workshop on multimodal interfaces to support elderly life•Focus on various „ambient“ interaction strategies•State of the art in various environmental interfaces
Salzburg, 18th November 2009
Main Questions in the workshop
– Is it possible to achieve a multi-modal interface able to answer different people‘s needs in different domains?
– Does AmI technology support users or does it rather increase complexity?
Cognitive Care and Guidance for Active Aging
Results of the workshop
• Infrastructure Plethora, home consoles, RFID, wearable sensors
• Focus on"natural interaction styles" for older people– TV can display graphical user interface, use
multimodal elements (audio and video) and requires low degree of expertise, remote control is familiar to the user
– Utilize available devices to present adaptive interfaces in the right context
– (Multi)-Touch as a way to provide intuitive input mechanisms
– Speech for activities of daily living, here privacy is not so much of a problem because i am doing the things i am always doing.

Cognitive Care and Guidance for Active Aging
Further outcomes and some sidesteps
• Awareness about the surrounding context simplifies interaction -> Usable ambient interaction is equivalent no interaction (or is it?)
• However: knowledge/awareness increases the complexity of systems and increases the need to make this actually easier to use.
• Improve interaction further:– Inform the user about ambiguity
of„intelligent systems“ – Be inspired by children interaction– Take responsibility
