Survey on Inclusive Human Machine Interaction Issues in India

This chapter takes forward the discussion of the previous chapter in Indian context. It compares and contrasts HCI issues for elderly users between developing and developed countries. Our study found that there is a significant effect of age on hand strength of elderly users limiting their use of standard computer peripherals. It is also found that European elderly users tend to score higher in cognitive tests than their Indian counterpart and for Indian population and there is a significant correlation between education level and cognitive abilities. We also pointed out a set of guidelines for interface designers to develop inclusive systems.
