Towards micro-groupware: Supporting Small Group Activities Around Assistive Technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Assistive technology (AT) aims at compensating for motor, sensory or cognitive functional limitations of its users. Severely disabled users typically need to rely on family and caregivers to setup and manage the technology they need to use on a daily basis. We propose a conceptual blueprint for an assistive technology micro-groupware platform for users with severe motor limitations. Stakeholders can address the definition of roles and forms of participation for a small group of people with situation-dependent configuration tasks at different levels and dimensions.
