“…In the area of accessibility a previous case study was presented, the HADRIAN system, based on the SAMMIE CAD [ 24], which tried to detect accessibility issues during the interaction between users and ATM machines. Sapin et al (2008) [ 25] reported a comparison of the gait patterns of trans-femoral amputees using a single-axis prosthetic knee that coordinates ankle and knee flexion's with the gait patterns of patients using other knee joints without a knee-ankle link and the gait patterns of individuals with normal gait.…”

Abstract. User models are abstract representations of user properties including their needs, preferences, knowledge, as well as physical, cognitive, and behavioral characteristics. These characteristics are usually represented by variables. User models are instantiated by the declaration of these variables for a particular user or group of users. Such instances of user models are called user profiles. A user profile captures the kind of information about an individual user that is considered by an adaptive system to adapt to aspects of a certain situation and preferences of different users.Complimentarily the process of user modelling can be applied to enhance the accessibility of user interfaces by generating or adapting them according to the particular user needs and preferences represented in the user profiles. In spite of the different approaches in this area, further research and development is necessary, particularly in addressing the need for standards to support the interoperability and portability of user models across implementations. More specifically, one of the main challenges of user modelling is the lack of a common approach for integrating user profiles that support different user models within individual implementations, and for migrating profiles from one implementation to another. This can be attributed to the broad variety of user profiles and the incompatibilities that can occur among them. For example, differences in user profiles can occur due to differences in scope of the modelling, source of information for the modelling, time sensitivity and update methods of the model (static vs. dynamic model). In this paper a thorough review of the latest developments in the area of user modelling for accessibility is presented. Further, in the core of the paper future potentials and challenges that this technology has to face in order to gain significant traction and adoption from wider audiences is analyzed.

“…In the area of accessibility only one case-study was identified, which is the HA-DRIAN system based on the SAMMIE CAD [ 5], which tried to detect accessibility issues during the interaction between users and ATM machines. Virtual user systems for the purpose of validation of product and workplace design are based upon anthropometry, joints' range of motion, description and appearance of the virtual user customized to meet the requirements of the task at hand.…”

Many research projects have identified three major obstacles to a broad implementation of Design for All: lack of awareness among users, designers and suppliers, technical feasibility and commercial viability. Mainstream manufactures do not have a detailed understanding of the needs of people with disabilities. This paper presents an approach to use standards-based Virtual User Models that covers mild and moderate disabilities to support designers in understanding these needs. This approach consists of a virtual laboratory with three design phases to allow designers to plan and evaluate the user interfaces of their products. We review here the state of the art and present our Virtual User Model as a mixture of human and environment context.
