Abstract
Fall detection cameras at home can detect emergencies of older adults and send timely life-saving alerts. However, the equilibrium between privacy protection and life safety remains a controversial issue when using cameras. In this study, we assessed the attitudes of older adults towards the privacy issue of cameras using surveys (N=389) and interviews (N=20). Furthermore, we conducted a co-design workshop (N=6) in which older adults and designers collaborated to develop a prototype of cameras. We found that for older adults, the disclosure of privacy not only involves a leakage of personal information, but also influences their dignity and control, which has rarely been expressed directly in the past. Our results expand the conceptualisation of privacy and provide novel design implications for smart product development on privacy for older adults.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Human-Computer Studies publishes original research over the whole spectrum of work relevant to the theory and practice of innovative interactive systems. The journal is inherently interdisciplinary, covering research in computing, artificial intelligence, psychology, linguistics, communication, design, engineering, and social organization, which is relevant to the design, analysis, evaluation and application of innovative interactive systems. Papers at the boundaries of these disciplines are especially welcome, as it is our view that interdisciplinary approaches are needed for producing theoretical insights in this complex area and for effective deployment of innovative technologies in concrete user communities.
Research areas relevant to the journal include, but are not limited to:
• Innovative interaction techniques
• Multimodal interaction
• Speech interaction
• Graphic interaction
• Natural language interaction
• Interaction in mobile and embedded systems
• Interface design and evaluation methodologies
• Design and evaluation of innovative interactive systems
• User interface prototyping and management systems
• Ubiquitous computing
• Wearable computers
• Pervasive computing
• Affective computing
• Empirical studies of user behaviour
• Empirical studies of programming and software engineering
• Computer supported cooperative work
• Computer mediated communication
• Virtual reality
• Mixed and augmented Reality
• Intelligent user interfaces
• Presence
