Abstract
This paper presents a user modelling system that facilitates developing and using interfaces for people with wide range of abilities. It consists of a simulator that helps designers to understand, visualize and measure effect of physical impairment on user interfaces. The modelling system also consists of a web service to customize static features (like font size, colour contrast) of an interface and a pointing facilitation module that predicts users’ intended target. The paper highlights applications of the system in product design and developing a web based geo-tagging application for reporting civic, healthcare issues and disaster warning messages by elderly users themselves.
