The impact of global population aging on older adults' health and emotional well-being is examined in this study, emphasizing innovative technological solutions to address their diverse needs. Changes in physical and mental functions due to aging, along with emotional challenges that necessitate attention, are highlighted. Gaze estimation and interactive art are utilized to develop an interactive system tailored for elderly users, where interaction is simplified through eye movements to reduce technological barriers and provide a soothing art experience. By employing multi-sensory stimulation, the system aims to evoke positive emotions and facilitate meaningful activities, promoting active aging. Named "Natural Rhythm through Eyes", it allows for users to interact with nature-themed environments via eye movements. User feedback via questionnaires and expert interviews was collected during public demonstrations in elderly settings to validate the system's effectiveness in providing usability, pleasure, and interactive experience for the elderly. Key findings include the following: (1) Enhanced usability of the gaze estimation interface for elderly users. (2) Increased enjoyment and engagement through nature-themed interactive art. (3) Positive influence on active aging through the integration of gaze estimation and interactive art. These findings underscore technology's potential to enhance well-being and quality of life for older adults navigating aging challenges.
本研究探讨了全球人口老龄化对老年人健康和情感福祉的影响,强调了创新的技术解决方案,以满足他们多样化的需求。文中强调了由于衰老导致的身体和心理功能的变化,以及需要关注的情感挑战。本研究利用注视估计和互动艺术为老年用户开发了一个互动系统,通过眼部运动简化交互,减少技术障碍,提供舒缓的艺术体验。通过采用多感官刺激,该系统旨在唤起积极的情绪,促进有意义的活动,促进积极老龄化。该系统名为“通过眼睛感受自然韵律”,允许用户通过眼部运动与以自然为主题的环境进行互动。在老年人环境中的公开演示中,通过问卷调查和专家访谈收集了用户反馈,以验证该系统在为老年人提供可用性、乐趣和互动体验方面的有效性。主要发现包括:(1)提高了老年人对注视估计界面的可用性。(2)通过以自然为主题的互动艺术增加了享受和参与度。(3)通过将注视估计和互动艺术相结合,对积极老龄化产生了积极影响。这些发现突显了技术在帮助老年人应对老龄化挑战、提高幸福感和生活质量方面的潜力。
