Abstract
Most of today's GUIs are designed for the typical, able-bodied
user; atypical users are, for the most part, left to adapt as
best they can, perhaps using specialized assistive technologies
as an aid. In this paper, we present an alternative approach:
SUPPLE++ automatically generates interfaces which
are tailored to an individual's motor capabilities and can be
easily adjusted to accommodate varying vision capabilities.
SUPPLE++ models users' motor capabilities based on a onetime
motor performance test and uses this model in an optimization
process, generating a personalized interface. A
preliminary study indicates that while there is still room for
improvement, SUPPLE++ allowed one user to complete tasks
that she could not perform using a standard interface, while
for the remaining users it resulted in an average time savings
of 20%, ranging from an slowdown of 3% to a speedup of
43%.
