Abstract
This master thesis aims to rethink how to design and evaluate a customizable and configurable tangible TV remote control for OAs with MCI. The device allows users to customize their remote control based on their personal needs and preferences and choose interaction types, functions, and components. We initiated the study by collecting users’ needs and insights via survey and conducting a co-design workshop with users to develop their tangible remote control. Finally, we developed a functional prototype and conducted a usability testing session with the users to understand the usability and usefulness of the prototype. The promising result of this study shows the benefit of customizable tangible interfaces in supporting OAs with MCI by simplifying their tasks while using complex electronic devices. We anticipate that configurable tangible interfaces could be beneficial to other similar populations (e.g., early-stage dementia or Alzheimer’s disease) and applicable to developing other complex electronic devices.
