    An AR User Interface for the Evaluation of Visuospatial Abilities
    (Mensch und Computer 2022 - Tagungsband, 2022) Imenkamp, Charlotte; Hanert, Annika; Schönfeld, Robby; Bartsch, Thorsten; Woelk, Felix
    Early pathogen processes of Alzheimers dementia (AD) develop years before the time of diagnosis. The process starts in hippocampal regions, which play an important role in spatial cognitive abilities including spatial memory. The decrease of these abilities leads to deficits in orientation and navigation and has a high impact on everyday live. A simple, fast and exact evaluation of the spatial memory impairment could help to detect the disease at an early stage (e.g. during a regular screening) and could thus enable stopping or slowing down the process. This work aims at the development of such a screening tool by combining a version of the established Smith-Milner paradigm (SMP) [26, 27] for analysis of spatial-cognitive deficits with the technical possibilities of the augmented-reality (AR) technology. A new AR-application was developed and the user acceptance was evaluated with a first group of healthy subjects (N = 40). The user interface of the AR application was specifically tailored for easy use by older participants and non-technical physicians.

    Participatory Design and the Divide between Developers and Older Adults
    (Mensch und Computer 2021 - Workshopband, 2021) Rießenberger, Katja Antonia
    With the demographic change and the digital transformation as two major trends in today’s Western societies, new technologies aimed at older adults emerge at a fast pace. To meet the needs of older adults in technology development, participatory design in the form of living labs is practiced with an increasing number. Nonetheless, studies suggest that there are still ageist assumptions and stigmatizations persisting within the field of participatory design. Based on this, we examine two examples of living lab testing regarding the division of end-users and tech developers, as well as their respective decision-making powers in the development of socially responsible technology.
