触摸屏界面的可用性在年轻人、中年人和老年人之间进行了比较。此外，还开发了触摸屏的性能模型，以便能够更准确地预测指点时间。此外，还确定了参与者可以最快指向的目标位置。与其他年龄组相比，老年人使用PC鼠标的指点时间更长，而当使用触摸屏界面时，三个年龄组的指点时间没有显著差异。指向正方形目标的中心导致了九个目标位置中最快的指向时间。基于这些结果，我们为触摸屏界面的设计提供了一些指导方针，并为不同年龄段的用户提供了启示。这项研究的实际或潜在应用包括设计触摸屏界面，使老年人可以使用它们，以及预测用户操作此类设备时的移动时间。
The usability of a touch-panel interface was compared among young, middle-aged, and older adults. In addition, a performance model of a touch panel was developed so that pointing time could be predicted with higher accuracy. Moreover, the target location to which a participant could point most quickly was determined. The pointing time with a PC mouse was longer for the older adults than for the other age groups, whereas there were no significant differences in pointing time among the three age groups when a touch-panel interface was used. Pointing to the center of a square target led to the fastest pointing time among nine target locations. Based on these results, we offer some guidelines for the design of touch-panel interfaces and show implications for users of different age groups. Actual or potential applications of this research include designing touch-panel interfaces to make them accessible for older adults and predicting movement times when users operate such devices.
