About
Dominic Noy is a researcher dedicated to bridging the digital divide for aging populations through human-computer interaction. His work centers on the design and application of embodied virtual agents—lifelike digital characters—as tools to foster e-inclusion among older adults. Noy’s key contributions explore how these agents can serve as intuitive, socially engaging interfaces that reduce barriers to technology adoption, such as anxiety or lack of digital literacy. His most cited papers, including "Embodied Virtual Agents as a Means to Foster E-Inclusion of Older People" (2013, 3 citations) and its subsequent iteration (2015, 2 citations), lay foundational groundwork for accessible, empathetic technology. While his citation counts reflect a niche but growing field, Noy’s work is notable for its human-centered approach, emphasizing not just usability but emotional and social connection. By advocating for virtual agents that adapt to older users’ needs, he has contributed to a vision of technology that empowers rather than excludes—a vital step toward equitable digital futures.
