Abstract

User interfaces and specially those based on internet technologies must met high expectations for usability. The evaluation of usability features competes with approaches to algorithmically measure accessibility. In this session on personalisation of interactive systems we demonstrate how customisation of interactive systems supports accessibility but is still dependent on the usability of assistive devices. Limitations of customisations exist for transforming browsing techniques and for time-dependent media.
