Summary:This extended abstract presents and performs a brief discussion on the HCI interfaces developed and under development in the EUROAGE+ project. Those interfaces were designed for interaction with a Q&A game, reaction time and reflexes game, daily conversations, and to tele-operate a robot. The interfaces were developed in a co-creation environment with the older adults in nursing homes. For the Q&A and the reaction time and reflexes games, off-the-shelf and dedicated buttons are under development. For the daily conversation interface, dedicated conversations were developed to infer the current state of the older adult. A tablet/smartphone interface was developed to allow older adults to command a robot to pick and place objects in an arena, to play the classical "shapes and colors" game. The interface for robot tele-operation was already validated in a pilot study and the HCI interfaces for the conversations and the games are currently under development.
