Dette speciale undersøger, hvordan interaktionsdesign (IxD) kan udvikles for og sammen med ældre. Specialet består af to dele. Først gennemføres et grundigt litteraturstudie af forskning om ældre på CHI-konferencen (en ledende konference om menneske‑computer‑interaktion) i perioden 2000–2019. I alt 90 fulde artikler og 125 extended abstracts (kortere forskningsbidrag) indgik i analysen. Studierne blev grupperet efter fem forskningsformål, otte metoder og elleve emneområder. Denne kortlægning giver et overblik over status og tendenser i IxD for ældre voksne. Dernæst bygger specialet på disse indsigter i en empirisk, eksplorativ undersøgelse af, hvordan man kan gennemføre fælles design (co‑design), når samarbejdet foregår på afstand. Designarbejdet omfattede spørgeskemaer, en gruppedesign‑workshop og to runder af individuelle brugertest, alle udført online. Undersøgelsen beskriver de udfordringer og muligheder, der opstod i de digitale forløb, og afslutter med praktiske anbefalinger til fremtidige co‑design‑processer under lignende online‑betingelser.

This thesis explores how Interaction Design (IxD) can be created for and with older adults. It has two parts. First, it offers a comprehensive literature review of research about older adults presented at the CHI conference (a leading venue on human–computer interaction) from 2000 to 2019. A total of 90 full papers and 125 extended abstracts were analyzed. The studies were grouped by five research purposes, eight methods, and eleven topic areas, providing an overview of the state of the field and trends in IxD for older adults. Second, building on these insights, the thesis reports an empirical, exploratory study of how to run remote co‑design with older adults. The design work included surveys, a group design workshop, and two rounds of individual usability testing, all conducted online. The study outlines the challenges and opportunities encountered in these online activities and concludes with practical suggestions for future co‑design under similar conditions.
