Accommodating Individual Differences through an Adaptive User Interface
نویسنده
چکیده
Computer systems vary in their structure, functionality, purpose, size and the way in which they represent their internal workings. Humans differ in background, sex, education, personality, cognitive skills and preferences, motivation, goals and mood. There is a social context to HCI which involves organizational and political factors, the user support which is available and the pressures of a situation. The complexity of humancomputer interaction must be dealt with. Computer systems are designed and built to be used. The question before us is to what extent can we improve the usability of systems. One solution to problems of usability, which is unique to computer systems, is to supply the system with a suitable theory of interaction and how interaction can be improved. The computer can then adapt itself to the needs of individuals or groups of users. A theory of adaptivity should help us to decide when an adaptive system solution to usability problems is appropriate. This paper provides some suggestions as to how we should approach adaptive user interface development and some user characteristics which may prove to be useful.
