Abstract

This paper gives a succinct overview of the research conducted in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) with older people in Europe and in Spain – including ours. Much of previous research has been conducted in R+D projects and focused on improving technology, resulting in addressing, in a limited way, 13_Sayago.qxd 9/4/13 17:03 Página 217 218 aspects more related to the first and second waves of HCI than those of the third (or current) wave. Our HCI research with older people is based on ethnographical studies, and this has allowed us to address issues up to the third HCI wave, leading to a deeper and better understanding of older people as consumers and creators of digital content. Some challenges and future research perspectives in HCI with older people are also discussed.
