My Favorite Remote ~ Remote control for Seniors
“My Favorite Remote™” is a television remote control that is easy to use and comes with customized preprogrammed shows that the senior will enjoy. The target population of users for our device/application is senior citizens aged 75 and over. This device is especially appropriate for seniors, who traditionally rely on caregivers to assist with the technical details and settings of their television remote controls. Such seniors may have macular degeneration, low tactile ability in their fingertips, and/or difficulty remembering which shows are on what channels at what times.

When designing all three iterations for “My Favorite Remote™” we tried to remember all of the principles that we have been learning in HCI:
Fitt’s Law, Gestalt’s Law, Nielsen’s principles
