“…This type of impairment affects the interaction between user and interface. However, synchronizing interfaces with user needs is a beneficial approach in these situations (Biswas, Langdon, Umadikar, Kittusami, & Prashant, 2014;Heller, Vanacken, Geurts, & Luyten, 2020). Gaze interaction can be utilized to minimize users' close interaction with machines and equipment in high-risk environments or cases of any motor disability (Karlsson, Allsop, Dee-Price, & Wallen, 2018).…”

Significant advancements of eye-tracking technology in extended reality (XR) head-mounted displays have increased the interest in gaze-based interactions. The benefits of gaze interaction proved that it could be a suitable alternative for hand-based interactions when users face situations where they must maintain their position due to mobility impairment. This study aims to assess the user experience of the gaze-based interaction, compared to hand-based interaction, in two movement conditions of static and dynamic. Twenty-four participants took part in this study, and their experience was evaluated in terms of perceived workload, usability, and performance. The results show that gaze-based interactions significantly outperform the hand-based interaction in terms of perceived workload and usability in case of limited mobility. Also, the user performance is significantly higher in gaze-based modes under situational impairment. The findings of this study can be used for designing XR interfaces considering the situation in which the task is performed.

“…We have conducted a series of user trials [2][3][4] involving people with different range of abilities to validate the user modelling system. We have already integrated this user modelling system with a digital TV framework (EU GUIDE system [10]) and an electronic agriculture system [3]. The present paper exploited this model for a Wisekar [13] based geo-visualization system for sensor networks.…”

Abstract. This paper presents a geo-visualization system that can be personalized based on range of abilities of users and contexts of use. The personalization features uses the Inclusive User Model which simulates interaction and uses those to adapt interfaces based on perceptual, cognitive and motor abilities of users. For example, the proposed visualization system will automatically adjust font size and colour contrast based on perceptual capability of users. It also adjusts spacing between interactive screen elements based on motor abilities of users and context of use. A preliminary user study confirmed that the personalization feature can enhance the usability experience of users.Keyword: Personalization. IntroductionThis paper presents a geo-visualization system that can be personalized based on range of abilities of users and contexts of use. The personalization features uses the Inclusive User Model [4] which simulates interaction and uses those to adapt interfaces based on perceptual, cognitive and motor abilities of users. Interface personalization is well explored in the domain of content personalization and developing intelligent information filtering or recommendation systems based on user profiles. In most of those systems content (or information) is represented in a graph like structure (e.g. ontology or semantic network) and filtering or recommendation is generated by storing and analyzing users' interaction patterns. Little research work has been done beyond content personalization. A few representative and significant projects on interface personalization are the SUPPLE project at University of Washington [6,11], and AVANTI project [9] for people with disabilities. The SUPPLE project [11] personalizes interfaces mainly by changing layout and font size for people with visual and motor impairment and also for ubiquitous devices. However, the user models do not consider visual and motor impairment in detail and thus work for only loss of visual acuity and a few types of motor impairment. The AVANTI project [9] provides a multimedia web browser for people with light, or severe motor disabilities, and blind people. It distinguishes personalization into two
