Abstract |
The AmI Designer is a graphical editor which creates descriptions of a designed application in XML. The Designer includes different widgets available to design a user interface. These widgets are detected dynamically from the editor, and developers can program their own widgets. The AmI Designer communicates with the Middleware of an AmI environment, is continuously informed about the available services of a room and can find the Middleware signals. Therefore, it supports defining how the application manipulates the devices in the room and how the external environment interacts with the GUI. The AmI Player uses the export XML description of the AmI Designer to generate GUIs ready for run-time. It sends and receives messages and signals from the middleware, calls services and uses devices. The produced GUIs can be manipulated through several input devices. These tools can be extended with additional interaction styles and services, as well as interaction platforms. The generated user interfaces integrate by design non-visual feedback and a scanning mechanism. Therefore, they are accessible and usable for all end users, including hand-motor and visual impaired users, children, elders, and inexperienced users. A case study is also presented in this thesis where the AmI Designer and the AmI Player have been used in the design of a light control application in a smart environment. The results of the conducted evaluation confirm the usefulness and usability of the tools themselves, as well as the accessibility and usability of the produced user interfaces. |
