Enhancing Airport Wayfinding for Older Adults through Gesture-Based Navigation

As the proportion of older adults rapidly increases, significant wayfinding challenges arise, particularly in complex environments such as airports. These settings often confuse older adults due to the mix of digital, physical, and procedural information, making navigation more difficult. Although various navigation tools exist, their high cognitive load renders them less accessible for older adults. Common issues include difficulty reading maps, interpreting signage, and operating digital devices.
