This thesis has summarized the possible implication in software design for elderly
users, and at the analysis part, we have also suggested possible software
characteristics and software design regarding the age related problems. In order to
transfer the HCI knowledge from thesis based into the industry, this guild may give
some benefits. Along the thesis process, we have found many interesting points and
ideas that may be out of the scope of this thesis. In this section, we would like to
discuss about some possible future works.
The effect of generation in human behavior is widely accepted in marketing area
(Underhill, 2000), but there are lacks of research paper linking the generation
characteristics with software interface design. This area is still open for deeper
research to study.
Another possible future work is suitability for interface components for constructing
software for elderly users. There are many interface component sets available in the
market, for example html from field or iOS, but none of them was designed for usage
of specific older group. This area is also an interesting area to design a set of interface
component that may especially fit to older users.
