Body-based interfaces have recently attracted much attention. In such interfaces, gross motor skills are critical in providing a safe and pleasant experience. However, little is known about gross motor performance, particularly on the age-related differences between the elderly and young adults. This study compares simple gross motor skills of the elderly with those of younger adults when performing arm and leg movements in different directions and different time intervals. By measuring participants' body movements during the task, we identified movement ranges, awkward movements, and the appropriate time interval between consecutive movements. We conclude by providing relevant HCI design implications.
