Music therapy addresses physiological, cognitive, and social needs of individuals and employs music to enhance quality of human lives through creation of positive changes. In this paper, we consider applying music therapy to human-computer interfaces, based on Quality of Life Supporters (QLS) of self-explanatory type, and oriented to elderly and disabled people. QLS are multi-modal communicators for person-environment (P-E) fit adjustments that take into account individual emotions and wellbeing. The "Circumplex model" published by Russell (1980) is employed for constructing optimal sequences of steps allowing smooth transition between any current and target emotional states in the course of computer assisted sessions. Findings regarding optimal step sizes and preferable types of music applicable for each step, as well as empirical methods of acquiring knowledge concerning relations between music and emotions are reported in result.

In this paper we present a system developed to control a computer environment for the handicapped by means of a laser pointer. The system looks for a laser spot position which is projected on the environment by using a laser pointer. Handicapped people can thus select the device they want by using the laser pointer. Once the laser spot is found, the device is controlled by means of a domotic system, using KNX architecture. We have developed a system that is able to recognize and act on the device that the handicapped person wants to use.
