As society ages, the number of older adults continues to rise. Today, there are more than 55 million people in the U.S. aged 65 and older, and that number continues to grow. With the rapid development of technology, smart devices have become an indispensable part of people's lives, and the elderly are also eager to use these devices to keep in close contact with distant family members, enjoy a colorful and entertaining life, and conveniently access all kinds of practical information. However, the vast majority of smart devices on the market today are designed to meet the needs of the younger generation, ignoring the significant changes in the physiological functions and cognitive abilities of the elderly. For example, the elderly generally face problems such as declining eyesight, hearing loss, reduced manual dexterity, and slower cognitive responses, all of which make it difficult for them to use conventional smart devices.
The vSeeBox team recognized this urgent market need, and through a series of careful and thoughtful optimizations, we are determined to make vSeeBox a smart device tailored for older Americans. We are committed to making vSeeBox an easy-to-use device for every senior citizen, making it a powerful companion in their lives, and helping them to smoothly integrate into the digital age and enjoy the convenience and beauty of technology.
Operation interface optimization
Simple layout at a glance
The vSeeBox team understands that older Americans are often confused and overwhelmed by the complexity of traditional smart device interfaces. vSeeBox team realized this pain point and simplified the interface completely. We have carefully selected the core functions, eliminated all the unnecessary elements, and adopted a clear and intuitive design for the functional partitions.
Take the main interface as an example, the movie and TV playback function is located in the center of the screen, with a larger icon display, the icon with a classic movie film pattern, the text description is concise and clear as “movie and TV playback”. The news information panel is set on the right side of the screen, which make it convenient for the elderly to get the latest news at any time.
In addition, only the core function icons are retained on the main interface, with simple and easy-to-understand text descriptions underneath each icon, and the font size has been tested and adjusted many times to ensure that the elderly do not need to struggle to recognize them. Through this design, even the elderly who have never been in contact with vSeeBox before can quickly understand the purpose of each function in just a few minutes when they first use it, and easily find the functions they need, which greatly reduces the cost of learning and the difficulty of operation.
Large fonts and high contrast
Vision loss is a common problem for older Americans as they age. According to studies, more than 70% of American seniors suffer from some degree of vision loss. vSeeBox team took this into consideration and put a lot of effort into the font and color scheme.
We chose to use large fonts to display all text, whether it's a menu option, a message, or a subtitle during a movie or TV playback. The font size of the menu options, for example, is nearly twice as large as that of ordinary smart devices, ensuring that seniors can see each option clearly without the need for a magnifying glass or other aids.
In terms of color schemes, vSeeBox uses high-contrast color combinations, such as black and bright yellow, white and dark blue. This design makes the text and icons stand out on the screen, as if the key information is clearly highlighted against a bright background. For example, in the settings screen, the option text is black and the background is bright yellow, a sharp contrast that makes it easy for older people to recognize.
This large font and high contrast design not only makes the interface clearer and easier to read, effectively reduces the visual fatigue of the elderly due to prolonged viewing of the screen, but also provides them with a comfortable and convenient experience, so that they will no longer be troubled by not being able to see the screen content when using vSeeBox.
Simplified operational processes
In order to make the operation process of vSeeBox as smooth and convenient as running water, we have simplified the operation process drastically. Through in-depth study of the usage habits and behavioral characteristics of the elderly, we have eliminated all the unnecessary setup steps and tedious confirmations.
For some commonly used functions, such as adjusting the volume, switching channels, etc., vSeeBox has also set up a convenient shortcut operation method. On the remote control, there is a large independent button for volume adjustment, with obvious “+” and “-” markings on the button, so the elderly can quickly adjust the volume by simply pressing the button. Through these simplified designs, it really make the operation simple and easy to understand, which is fully in line with the usage habits of American seniors, so that they can easily get started and enjoy the convenience brought by smart devices.
Interactive improvements
Voice interaction is undoubtedly one of the core highlights of vSeeBox for American seniors.
In actual use, seniors only need to speak commands in a natural, normal tone of voice, such as “play my favorite western movie”, “turn on financial news”, etc., and vSeeBox will respond quickly and accurately perform the corresponding operations in just a few seconds. This feature greatly frees up the hands of the elderly, especially those who have poor dexterity and find it difficult to perform fine operations, voice interaction provides them with an unprecedentedly convenient and natural way of operation.
For example, Mr. Johnson, an 80-year-old man with arthritis in his hands, found it difficult to operate a traditional remote control, but since using the vSeeBox's voice interaction feature, he can easily control the device by speaking, watching his favorite programs, and stay in close contact with his family, making his life more colorful.
Remote control optimization
The design of vSeeBox's remote control takes into account the practical needs of American seniors. In terms of button layout, we have conducted repeated user tests and research, and set the frequently used buttons such as power, volume adjustment, channel switching, etc. in the most easy-to-touch position. The power button is located at the top center of the remote control, making it easy for the elderly to find and operate the remote control when they pick it up. The volume adjustment and channel switching buttons are located on both sides of the remote control, and the spacing between the buttons is large, which effectively avoids operation errors caused by accidental touch.
The buttons of the remote control adopt a unique raised design, and the touch of each button is extremely obvious. When the elderly are using it, even without looking at the remote control, they can accurately find the required buttons and operate precisely by the touch of their fingers alone. In addition, in the choice of material, we chose a special material that is non-slip and easy to hold. This material not only feels comfortable in the hand, but also allows the elderly to hold the remote control steadily and control the vSeeBox easily even if their hands are sweaty or not strong enough, providing a stable and reliable operating experience for the elderly.
Content presentation adjustments
Proprietary Content Recommendations
In order to better meet the diverse interests and rich cultural needs of American seniors, vSeeBox has conducted extensive market research and face-to-face exchanges with many elderly users to understand their preferences and needs. On this basis, we have crafted a personalized and exclusive content recommendation system.
In terms of film and television, In terms of the content contained in the box, we provide feedback contact information to listen to customers' opinions and update customers' needs in a timely manner.
Meanwhile, vSeeBox also utilizes advanced algorithms to intelligently recommend relevant content based on seniors' viewing history and preferences. For example, if a senior often watches war-themed movies, the system will automatically recommend more classic movies of the same genre for him, so that they can easily find the programs they are interested in and enjoy their leisure time to the fullest.
Clear Subtitles and Audio
Considering that some older Americans may have varying degrees of hearing impairment, vSeeBox has optimized its movie and TV playback features. We provide clear and easy-to-read subtitle options with larger fonts, about one-third larger than normal subtitles, to ensure that seniors can see every word clearly. In terms of color options, the subtitle color contrasts with the video background, such as white subtitles with a dark background, making the subtitles stand out on the screen.
In terms of audio, vSeeBox has fully optimized the sound processing. Through advanced audio enhancement technology, we have enhanced the clarity and layering of sound so that every sound detail is clearly recognizable. Even at lower volumes, seniors can hear the dialog, music and sound effects in movies and TV. In addition, vSeeBox also supports audio personalization, which allows seniors to easily adjust the audio volume level, timbre, and other parameters according to their own hearing needs via the remote control, ensuring that they can enjoy a quality audiovisual experience that best suits their needs.
Health Care Design
Reminders for hours of use
In order to avoid over-use of vSeeBox by American seniors, we have designed a practical reminder function for the duration of use. Users can easily set the daily usage time limit in the settings according to their actual needs, and they can choose different time limits to meet the usage habits and needs of different seniors.
When the usage time of the elderly is close to the set value, vSeeBox will remind the elderly to take a rest. When the usage time reaches the set value, vSeeBox will automatically pause the playback content until the senior confirms to continue using it. This reminder function not only helps the elderly to rationalize their time and maintain a good routine, but also effectively prevents physical discomfort caused by prolonged sedentary viewing of the screen, such as cervical pain, lumbar spine discomfort, etc., to take care of the physical and mental health of the elderly in an all-round way.
Improved stability and reliability
In order to ensure that vSeeBox is able to run stably and reliably and provide a consistently smooth experience for older Americans, our technical team has deeply optimized the system. Through optimization algorithms, we have improved the system's operational efficiency, making the device faster and smoother in handling various tasks. At the same time, we fully cleaned up the system code and removed all redundant code to reduce the burden on the system when running.
After optimization, vSeeBox can keep running stably without lagging or crashing even when running multiple applications at the same time or in a poor network environment. In addition, we have set up a regular system update and maintenance mechanism, checking and updating the system every week, fixing potential loopholes and problems in a timely manner to ensure the security and stability of the device, so that seniors can use it with peace of mind.
User feedback and continuous improvement
The optimized design of vSeeBox always depends on the valuable feedback from users. We have collected the experience and suggestions of American senior users through various channels. Online, we regularly distribute questionnaires, which cover all aspects of the device, from the friendliness of the interface to the satisfaction of the content recommendation, from the accuracy of voice interaction to the stability of the system, and so on. Offline, we organize a professional team to go deep into the community and conduct face-to-face interviews with elderly users to listen to their real voices. At the same time, we also actively participate in various senior activities and set up vSeeBox experience zones at the event sites to directly collect users' feedback.
User expressed the hope that the color of the buttons on the remote control could be more eye-catching, we immediately adjusted the design of the remote control and changed the color of the commonly used buttons to bright red and green, which is convenient for the elderly to identify.
By continuously focusing on user needs and improving our products, vSeeBox is able to better meet the needs of America's seniors and provide them with more caring and quality services. We know that only by constantly listening to our users can vSeeBox stay at the forefront of aging-friendly design and become an integral part of the lives of older Americans.
