Abstract :
The potential benefits of environment automation for older adults and for individuals with physical limitations are becoming well known. At the same time, there is concern that high-tech solutions will not be widely accepted by this target population. In this paper we present the results of a human factors study in which we allow individuals with varied backgrounds and physical limitations to selectively employ voice control of devices in their own homes. Here we summarize the results of the study and highlight issues for further investigation.
