Summary:This paper is focusing on two important aspects: on the one hand, it presents our work on designing, developing and implementing a multimodal interactive guidance system for elderly persons to be used in autonomous navigation within complex building; on the other hand, it summaries and compares the data of a series of empirical studies that have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency and user satisfaction of the elderly-centered multimodal interactive system regarding different multimodal input-possibilities such as speech, gesture via touch-screen and the combination of both under simulated conditions. The overall positive results validated our systematically developed and empirically improved design guidelines, foundations, models and frameworks for supporting multimodal interaction for elderly persons.
