| Abstract: | Growing interest in the design of products for the over fifties suggests that it is important to asses what we know of the older users in relation to product design. An evaluation of the research carried out in this field reveals that changes normally associated with ageing frequently occor much earlier. It is concluded that there are gaps in the research in this area which need to be addressed in order to guide designers in the specifications of products which are fuctional, efficient, safe and attractive to older and younger users alike. |
