Challenges of Interacting and Interface Technologies for AAL Initiative Sample Clauses

Challenges of Interacting and Interface Technologies for AAL Initiative. The challenge of a good human-machine-interactions is primarily not a technological issue. The challenges consist of the multi-dimensional relationship and interworking of factors of usability and user experience (Fig. 31). In particular for Ambient Assisted Living technologies, interacting seems to play a dominant success factor in order to address the usefulness of devices and components to the users – which are the private customer at the end of the value chain as well as professional users, e.g. care provider, medical experts, relatives, friends or others. Because AAL technologies are by definition mainly focused on applications for supporting older people through the use of ICT, the interactions between humans and computers are dominant and are designed by using specific types of user interfaces, mostly named as command line interface (CLI), graphical user interface (GUI) or natural user interface (NUI’s). CLIs and GUIs are well-known and are commonly used when interacting with the computer using a keyboard to type commands or a mouse to manipulate virtual objects. NUI’s have been researched and development for many years, using speech for input (speech recognition) and output (natural or synthetic speech), handling and movement of control devices (e.g. joystick, mouse) or touching on a certain point on a 2D surface (touch screen) or making specific signs or movements in a 3D space (gestures). With both, GUI’s and NUI’s, combinations of input and/or outputs can be used (e.g. simultaneous output of voice, sounds and graphical output, simultaneous pressing of keys, moving a mouse and/or speaking commands and/or move parts of the body like hands, head or regions of the face when producing facial mimicry).
