User Interface Adaptation for Accessibility

Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss methods and tools for adapting user interfaces to make them more accessible. We introduce the problem of user interface adaptation and characterize different techniques to be adapted to the user interface. We show that there is a broad range of methods and tools to transform existing interfaces to make them accessible. We describe such approaches by grouping them in two types of solutions: those that provide built-in adaptation mechanisms for the application and those which are external to the application.
