A systematic mapping of accessibility and usability in the process of development of digital games for the elderly

Accessibility, Usability, Digital games, ElderlyAbstract
This study explored how, when and where accessibility and usability are approached during digital game development aiming the elderly users. We covered 20,270 initial results, from which we sampled 1,755 and obtained 46 publications after the mapping process. Our results evidenced a preference of the field for studies about evaluation of accessibility and/or usability in this domain. It also suggests that studies only approached accessibility during digital game development for the elderly when they also approached usability. Our analysis showed a significant (p − value < .01) higher number of studies approaching usability (43) in comparison to accessibility (11). We suggest research questions for future systematic reviews in the field.
