A practical solution for the automatic generation of user interfaces - What are the benefits of a practical solution for the automatic generation of user interfaces?

Abstract

Older adults benefit from information and communication technology solutions in the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) domain. The offered user interfaces for these ICT solutions often do not take the special needs, preferences and the physical and mental capabilities of older adults into account. The project AALuis focuses on solutions to increase accessibility, adaptability and usability of user interfaces in the AAL domain. The paper describes the functionality of the AALuis layer and the different steps involved stakeholders have to cover to benefit from the user interface generation framework. A detailed comparison between the traditional user interface design and the AALuis approach lists similarities and identifies differences in the user interface generation process. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
