Development of an extended TAM model for enabling online social experience with smart home displays for older adults

OverviewA sustainable future requires prioritising concerns like the well-being of older individuals, considering the world’s rapidly ageing population. This PhD thesis applies the research through an interdisciplinary approach, explores the user experience design factors and identifies the perception of older adults toward adopting smart home displays for their online social experiences. The research results include design theories and approaches, for instance, design guidelines, to support designers in designing social software on smart home products for older adults. Consequently, this approach can facilitate their online social experience within the home environment, leading to an enhancement in their overall well-being.
