WeSlide: gestural text entry for elderly users of interactive television

Interactive television provides useful services for older people. These include social networking tools, video on demand, and broadcast TV. Many of the Internet-mediated services require text entry. The usual multi-tap text entry supplied with TV remote control is not suitable to many older people. In this paper, we evaluate WeSlide, a gestural text entry technique that uses the Wiimote as the input device. We conducted a study to compare WeSlide with the multi-tap technique. WeSlide was faster and less error prone and users strongly preferred it over multi-tap.

Exploring a design space for electronic health record visualization

In this paper, we propose an eight-dimensional design space to provide a framework for guiding future application designers to access a patients health record. The dimensions of our design space came from the 5W1H method used to collect information. Then, we situate a few existing systems compared to the dimensions of our design space to identify the lacks in electronic health record visualization as potential for our future work.
