IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine - July 2015 - 70

The fourth keynote speaker was Ron Baecker, a world-renowned expert in human-computer interaction and user interface design. Baecker
is an emeritus professor of computer science,
Emeritus Bell Chair in human-computer interaction at the University of Toronto, cofounder
of the Dynamic Graphics Project, founder of
the Knowledge Media Design Institute, and
founder and director of the Technologies for
Aging Gracefully Lab at the University of
Toronto. His research expertise includes elec- Ron Baecker.
tronic memory aids and other cognitive prostheses; computer applications in education;
computer-supported cooperative learning, multimedia, and
new media; computer animation and interactive computer
graphics; and computer literacy and how computers can help
us work better and safer.
Baecker is one of the "60
Pioneers in Computer
Graphics" awarded by the
Association for Computing and Machinery Special
Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive
Techniques.
Baecker discussed the
importance of information
and communication technologies (e.g., the Internet,
mobile phones, and tablets)

for older adults, within a
comprehensive framework
that considers social, cultural, economic, psychological, and
physiological dimensions. He pointed out that "specific roles
for new technology may be understood in terms of the Maslow
Hierarchy of Human Needs: biological or physiological needs,
safety needs, love or social needs, esteem needs, and the need
for self-actualization-a sense of a calling or cause." Despite
the growing use of the Internet, the Web, and mobile phones
among older adults, we have barely scratched the surface of
what is possible. The bulk of the presentation addressed "landmark achievements that meet specific needs, promising
approaches, and open problems in the design of technology to

The topics covered included the
importance of instructional design,
managing an interdisciplinary
development team, and current
consumer-level technologies and
the new opportunities they provide,
and games for health developers.

help older adults age gracefully." Particular attention was paid to the role of games.
The fifth and final keynote speaker was
Bruce Ballon. An award-winning psychiatrist,
Ballon brings two decades of experience in
providing innovative education, novel simulations, psychodynamic coaching, group facilitation, and creativity-enhancing techniques for
teaching and training individuals and groups.
He is the director of education for the Ontario
Simulation Network, a not-for-profit organization that connects the simulation community,
facilities, resources, and services across the
Province of Ontario, Canada. Ballon is a professor at the
University of Toronto (Department of Psychiatry), and he is
also the director of the Psychiatry Simulation Innovation
Centre for the University of Toronto based at Mount Sinai
Hospital in Toronto, which specializes in simulations to
assist understanding alternative points of view and enhancing communication.
In his talk, "Cyberworld Impact on the Human Condition," Ballon discussed how raising awareness of the virtual
and "real" world intersections could result in influencing
individuals, the community, and culture and how "games can
transmit values and prime players into thinking in specific
ways and developing conditioned behaviors." He then
described considerations for creating healthy relationships
with cybertechnology and advised the audience to use it
wisely since it is here to stay.
