Zusammenfassung
Developing user interfaces is always a challenging task, particularly if the users are elderly or people with special needs. In this paper we summarize the experiences we made during the i2home project regarding the design and development of accessible user interfaces. On the basis of the industry standard URC a middleware platform has been implemented and the concept of pluggable user interfaces has been introduced. We give an overview of this approach and point to existing tools and future directions that can support developers and end users of smart home applications.
