    Achievements in Exergames for Parkinson s Patients
    (Mensch & Computer 2012: interaktiv informiert – allgegenwärtig und allumfassend!?, 2012) Springer, Melanie; Herrlich, Marc; Krannich, Dennis; Malaka, Rainer
    While playing good games should be intrinsically rewarding, additional extrinsic rewards such as achievements if applied with care can further enhance the game experience and foster player motivation. However, if applied in an uninformed way, extrinsically induced motivation can also devalue the intrinsic rewards in the player s perception. The impact of achievements on the game experience of special target groups like older people suffering from Parkinson s disease is still largely unexplored. In this paper, two types of achievements are evaluated for the exergame Sterntaler . Sterntaler was specifically developed for patients suffering from Parkinson s disease to motivate them to do physical exercises. Our results show that the majority of the participants prefer achievements to no achievements, with a near equal split between the different types of achievements included in this study.

    Autonomous Driving and the Elderly: Perceived Risks and Benefits
    (Mensch und Computer 2018 - Workshopband, 2018) Schmargendorf, Maike; Schuller, Hans-Martin; Böhm, Patricia; Isemann, Daniel; Wolff, Christian
    Autonomous driving offers possibilities to simplify and enhance the lives of many people. One group that could benefit a lot from autonomous driving is elderly people. In this contribution, we examine the opportunities and risks that elderly people see in autonomous driving. This was done by conducting semi-structured interviews with 10 participants which offered some insight into the acceptance of autonomous driving among elderly people. The identified perceived benefits and risks are validated by an online survey in which 113 people from 59 to 90 years of age have taken part. In general, elderly people are not rejecting the idea of using autonomous driving altogether. They see benefits in increased mobility and therefore greater independence at a higher age as it allows disabled people to regain lost mobility. However, our study also revealed privacy and security concerns, factors known to have a negative impact on technology adoption.

    Gamification in the inDAgo HelpMe application
    (Mensch & Computer 2014 - Tagungsband, 2014) Baumann, Kristian; Klein, Peter; Mrsic Carl, Antonija; Bender, Denise
    The changing demographic structures in western societies have led to a higher need for assistance for elderly people in their everyday lives. Staying mobile is very important for the quality of life, but is anything but simple when getting older. The research project inDAgo, a project initiated by research facilities in and around the city of Darmstadt, Germany, targets this problem. A first result of this project is the HelpMe application (app). By means of this app, elderly people can easily transmit in difficult situations a call for help to a network of trustworthy people willing to assist. They then receive quick and uncomplicated support by helpers in their vicinity.

    Mitlernender Assistent für Senior*innen zur Erstellung von Beiträgen in einer Community Anwendung
    (Mensch und Computer 2020 - Tagungsband, 2020) Goram, Mandy
    Partizipation und Teilhabe am gesellschaftlichen Leben sowie sozialer Austausch und gemeinsames Miteinander finden heutzutage häufig im Internet statt. Die Community App meinDorf55+ soll Senior*innen unterstützten die soziale Teilhabe zu stärken. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass Senior*innen Schwierigkeiten bei der Erstellung von Beiträgen haben. Kurze, inhaltsarme Texte und fehlende Informationen in den Beiträgen erschweren es Interessenten nach passenden Beiträgen zu suchen. Die Frage ist, wie die Senior*innen bei der Erstellung von Beiträgen, für die App, gezielt unterstützt werden können. Der Artikel beschreibt ein mitlernendes Assistenzsystem, das Senior*innen bei der Erfassung von Beiträgen unterstützen soll. Durch maschinelles Lernen werden Beiträge inhaltlich analysiert und Senior*innen gezielt auf wichtige noch fehlende Angaben im Text hingewiesen, um sie dazu zu animieren ihre Texte zu prüfen.

    Multimodality in Design of Tangible Systems
    (i-com: Vol. 11, No. 3, 2012) Tellioğlu, Hilda; Ehrenstrasser, Lisa; Spreicer, Wolfgang
    In this paper we present how we applied and analyzed multimodality in design of tangible communication systems for elderly. First we define six categories of multimodality (aural, visual, tactile, gesture, posture, and space), which we integrate in our design processes and design artifacts. We illustrate how user interaction has been established, especially when multimodality is central to our approach. We also discuss multimodal design in context of user experiences, user-centered design, and participatory design approaches. We show the added value and change of focus through multimodality in design processes. We analyze our findings before we conclude our paper.

    Ein System für alle Fälle: Entwicklung eines intelligenten Hausnotrufsystems im Dialog mit den zukünftigen Nutzern
    (Mensch & Computer 2013: Interaktive Vielfalt, 2013) Ortlieb, Stefan; Streffing, Gaby; Carbon, Claus-Christian
    In unserem Kurzbeitrag (Poster) stellen wir zwei kulturvergleichende Anforderungsanalysen vor, die im Vorfeld der technischen Spezifikation eines intelligenten Hausnotrufsystems durchgeführt wurden. Wir präsentieren außerdem das Technological Impact Assessment Model (TIAMo), welches die Ergebnisse dieser Anforderungsanalysen integriert und Hypothesen darüber aufstellt, wie ein intelligentes Hausnotrufsystem die wohnungsbezogenen Kontrollüberzeugungen, das Sicherheitsempfinden und die Mobilität von alleinlebenden, älteren Menschen beeinflusst und dadurch ihre Teilhabe am gesellschaftlichen Leben verbessern kann.
