Traditional smart home interfaces often neglect the unique cognitive and operational needs of the elderly, resulting in difficulties when using these technologies. Affordance theory, as an important framework in human-computer interaction, provides theoretical support for optimizing smart home interface design through the dimensions of perception, operation, and feedback. This paper explores the specific application of affordance theory in the design of smart home interface navigation for the elderly and proposes a series of targeted design strategies aimed at enhancing the usability and acceptance of smart home systems among elderly users. %K Affordance Theory %K Elderly %K Smart Home %K Interface Navigation %K Human-Computer Interaction %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=142664
