VUMS - Virtual User Modeling and Simulation Cluster
VUMS is a project cluster that includes the GUIDE, MyUI, VERITAS and VICON projects. The projects collaborate on future joint efforts. All projects work on improving the accessibility of various products and application areas, taking into account various impairments.
GUIDE - Gentle user interfaces for elderly people
The European project GUIDE ("Gentle user interfaces for elderly people") is developing a software framework which allows developers to efficiently integrate accessibility features into their applications.
MyUI - Mainstreaming Accessibility through Synergistic User Modelling and Adaptability
MyUI vision is to foster the mainstreaming of accessible and highly individualized ICT products – a major issue for e-Inclusion. The project addresses important barriers which include developers’ lack of awareness and expertise, time and cost requirements of incorporating accessibility and missing validated approaches and infrastructures.
VERITAS aims to develop, validate and assess tools for built-in accessibility support at all stages of ICT and non-ICT product development, including specification, design, development and testing. The goal is to introduce simulationbased and virtual reality testing at all stages of assistive technologies product design and development into the automotive, smart living spaces (buildings & construction, domotics), workplace, ehealth and infotainment applications areas.
VAALID - Accessibility and Usability Validation Framework for AAL Interaction Design Process
VAALID project aims at creating new tools and methods that facilitate and streamline the process of creation, design, construction and deployment of technological solutions in the context of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) assuring that they are accessible and usable for senior citizens.
This goal will be achieved through the development of an integrated development environment (VAALID IDE) for computer aided design and validation of User-Interaction subsystems that improve and optimize the accessibility features of Ambient Assisted Living services, for the social inclusion and independent living of Senior Citizens.
