ABSTRACT
The interaction with consume products has been changing due to the development of the technology. Appliances in general and particularly cooking hobs have gone from having physical controls to have touch controls. For that reason, the main objective of this paper is to analyse the impact of that changes on the interfaces in terms of accessibility. Therefore, a comparison between the different interfaces has been made by analysing four different cooking hobs. The analysis determines, on the one hand, the demand capacities to use the cooking hobs and, on the other hand, the number of excluded people for the interaction with each of selected cooking hobs. The results define the main characteristics to consider when designing accessible cooking hobs such as; controls, feedbacks and graphic elements.
