Abstract:
abstract: It is nowadays common that the growing number of electronic devices and services used in all kinds of environments is coming along with a significant increase in the complexity of offered functionalities, as well as higher dependencies between devices and services. In this context, two big challenges can be identified: firstly, how to offer appropriate interactions to heterogeneous groups of users, and secondly, how to overcome interoperability problems of heterogeneous devices and services. In this paper, we present a prototype that attempts to address the above mentioned challenges by enabling the integration of Adaptive User Interfaces and Middlewares aiming to support real life Assistive Technologies and Internet of Things scenarios. When developing this prototype, a key requirement was to address adaptivity, not only at the graphical level, but rather from a generic interaction perspective in order to also support persons with motor impairments in Assistive Technologies scenarios. Therefore, four technologies/frameworks were integrated: Global Public Inclusive Infrastructure, MyUI, Assistive Technology Rapid Integration & Construction Set, as well as Universal Remote Console.
