•Older people therefore
often differ from other people in terms of:
–1. Physical capability
(dexterity/mobility)
–2. Sensory ability (vision/hearing)
–3. Cognitive capacity (memory/recall)
–4. Level of experience with
technology
•So making new applications
usable and useful to older people is different and can be a challenge
•But a challenge that our
accessibility efforts can help to address
•It is also largely an issue of good general
usability
