چکیده
In this project the design of a TV remote control for elderly was approached taking into account their needs and their visual and motor deficiencies. Following the iterative design process preliminary user interviews were conducted and an easy to use TV remote control was designed as well as evaluated. The device is equipped with the basic controls for volume and changing channels and it also introduces four e-ink screens placed on the favorite channels buttons, in order to provide an intuitive interaction that substitutes the traditional numeric keyboard. The final prototype was tested and highly appreciated by the users.
