This literature review analyses the population involved, the kind of tasks that were executed, the apparatus, the input techniques, the provided feedback, the collected data and author's findings and their recommendations. As conclusion, this review shows that age-related changes, previous experience with technologies, characteristics of handheld devices and use situations need to be studied

Some remarkable advances in mobile technologies have been made on the past fifteen years, especially the adoption of direct input on the screen. Since aging is now a worldwide demographic phenomenon, several studies have been carried on to investigate and improve the interaction between older-aged adults and these new technologies. These studies are important because mobile devices are often equipped with touchscreen and they can help to improve quality of life for older adults (health care, social life, serious games). Understanding interaction of this group of users with touchscreen can facilitate the adoption of interactive technologies and their future use by older populations. This literature review analyses thirty six studies that evaluated interaction techniques for older users using touchscreen devices. This review intends to 1) analyze the situation of thirty six studies (population, apparatus, tasks and interaction techniques) and 2) identify situations of use of touchscreen devices and interaction techniques that need to be further studied. As results, a descriptive analysis of the populations included, the chosen apparatus, executed tasks and interaction techniques are presented, so as a summary of relevant parameters to consider for studies of tactile interaction techniques. On each topic, we discuss about the results, the authors' recommendations and we provide cues for future work

Interaction techniques for older adults using touchscreen devices

International audienceSome remarkable advances in mobile technologies have been made on the past fifteen years, especially the adoption of direct input on the screen.

These studies are important because mobile devices are often equipped with touchscreen and they can help to improve quality of life for older adults (health care, social life, serious games).

Depuis que le vieillissement est un phénomène démographique mondial, plusieurs études ont été menées pour étudier et améliorer l'interaction des personnes âgées avec ces nouvelles technologies. Ces études sont importantes car les dispositifs mobiles, souvent équipés d'un écran tactile,peuvent aider à améliorer la qualité de vie des personnes âgées (soins de santé, maintien du lien social, jeux sérieux). Comprendre l'interaction de ce groupe d'utilisateurs avec des écrans tactiles peut ainsi faciliter l'adoption des technologies interactives et leur future utilisation. Cette revue de la littérature analyse trente-six études qui ont évalué des techniques d'interaction pour des sujets âgés utilisant des dispositifs avec écran tactile. Cette revue vise 1) à analyser la situation de ces trente-six études (population, équipements, tâches et techniques d'interaction) et 2) à identifier les situations d'utilisation des écrans tactiles et des techniques d'interaction qui doivent encore être étudiées. Les résultats sont l'analyse descriptive des populations incluses, des dispositifs choisis, des tâches effectuées et des techniques d'interaction, ainsi qu'une synthèse des paramètres pertinents à prendre en compte pour des études sur les techniques d'interaction tactile. Sur chaque point, nous présentons une discussion sur les résultats, les recommandations des auteurs et des repères pour des travaux futurs
