This master’s thesis explores what could be the usability affordances of tactile interfaces, imbedded with physical commands, and voice interfaces,when used by older people that have visual impairments and cognitive declines. The aim is to contribute to the development of more accessible media.Through an adapted design thinking approach and qualitative methods, relevant literature, benchmarking on existing technologies, and empirical data, it has showed that the usability affordances of the two interfaces differ from each other. The presence of variousus ability affordances is found to be decided by individual perception and severity of impairments. Thus, each interface accommodates some users better than others. The outcome of the master’s thesis can be used for future developers of accessible media when exploring new interfaces that could be better suited for people with disabilities.
