Transgenerational design of "smart products", a checklist of guidelines. Part of the Delft Gerontechnology Project.
Elderly users have been observed using their own appliances and consumer electronics in their homes. From this, design guidelines have been derived, focussing on the durables as well as their manuals. The guidelines consist of recommendations for design methods, requirements for manuals and product requirements, mainly concerning usability.
