Resumo
Nowadays, population aging has attracted the interest of research areas such as Health, Social Sciences, and Economics. Aging can trigger unwanted phenomena associated to muscle weakness, loss of memory and loss of autonomy. This paper presents a computer application based on the Corsi Test designed for the elderly audience, which can be used for testing and for training of the visuospatial memory. The application development is presented, as well as the results of an Usability Evaluation. This work aims to contribute to the usability evaluation of gesture interfaces, especially in applications aimed to the elderly audience. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2013.
