Abstract
In this paper we describe the design, development and evaluation of user
interfaces for a modern digital home based on the ISO/IEC 24752 standard: Universal
Remote Console—URC. Two target groups were addressed: seniors aged 65
years and above and people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Our goal is to design
user interfaces (UI) for our target groups that make use of all available modalities,
such as, graphics, voice, and video. We provide a set of recommendations and
design patterns for developing UIs for seniors and Alzheimer’s disease patients. We
present the results of tests of user interfaces designed for smart home environment.
