GOLDUI: Adaptive Embedded Human Interfaces designed for older people


Description

The concept of GOLDUI is focused on
empowering the older individual, enabling
them to access online “self serve”
services and therefore to benefit from
the digital world by using the familiar
home technologies of domestic radio, TV
and telephone augmented by a mobile
smartphone interface when away from
home.
A key concept to GOLDUI is the development
and maintenance of a cloudbased
secure user profile, which is intended
to be maintained by a trusted
relative or carer. The profile indicates
the user’s language, eyesight, hearing,
mobility and memory capabilities and
communication preferences as well as
account information for key services via
a series of plugins. The key technological
innovations that we want to introduce
to enable GOLDUI project are related
to 1) Representation of multimedia
content description, 2) Personalization
and contextualization of information, 3)
Interactive search and agent interfaces
able to mitigate complex tasks, bring
expertise to the user, and provide more
natural interaction; and 4) Human-Computer
Interfaces.
12-18 months after the end of the project,
there will be a commercial launch.
