I. INTRODUCTION The concept of human–computer interaction (HCI) was first presented by a group of professionals at the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Computer–Human Interaction Conference in 1992. HCI (human-computer interaction) is the study of how people interact with computers and to what extent computers are or are not developed for successful interaction with human beings. Computer vision has been an active area of research for more than three decades. A quick review of the field reveals …show more content…
The use of these devices requires user. Input via these devices demands precision and motor coordination; visual-motor coordination is also needed to use the pointing device. Output requires visual and, sometimes, auditory abilities. People present disabilities in diverse ways. A significant percentage of the general population does not possess the necessary minimum physical ability to use standard input/output devices. This occurs for various reasons, for example, aging, physical or cognitive disability, or the inability to execute multiple tasks simultaneously (browsing the address book of a mobile phone while driving, for example).
2) cognitive accessibility
3) The cognitive abilities and disabilities of users are diverse (Cañas & Waern, 2001). Besides aging and cognitive disabilities, the use of a foreign language or the reduction in attention when doing simultaneous tasks may influence the cognitive ability of the user. Therefore it is necessary to take into account this diversity when designing interaction methods. Despite the fact that the cognitive disabilities affect a large number of people, many of whom are not considered disabled, cognitive accessibility studies are less developed than those for physical accessibility.
