From the Back Cover
Professionals in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) are becoming increasingly aware of the needs of people who are older or disabled, a population that is quickly growing. They also need to ensure that systems are designed for all, with specific consideration of these groups - not only computing systems but also other assistive and adaptive technologies such as information services and technologies for smart cards, systems for travellers, and home and environmental control systems. Designers need to monitor the latest developments in the design of HCI and to appreciate their impact on accessibility and usability.
This book stems from the work of the International Federation of Information Processing's Working Group on Human-Computer Interaction and Disability. It serves to help designers world-wide find relevant guidelines for the design of HCI, to facilitate the use of advanced technologies by disadvantaged groups , and enable them to assess the suitability of the guidelines they find.
