Graphical User Interface Redefinition Addressing Users’ Diversity

Improvements can still be made in the development of Interactive Computing Systems (ICSs) aiming to ease their use. This is particularly true when trying to address users’ diversity. Most ICSs do not adjust themselves to the user nor consider user’s particularities. However, some provide solutions to address better specificities of expert and novice users. Others adjust themselves based on user’s interaction history, but this does not always lead to improvements in use. An aspect that prevents to address users’ diversity broadly is the fact that most of existing ICSs do not provide source code access. This means that only owners can introduce improvements on them.
