Abstract

A multifaceted user interface framework is presented. This framework is based on "filmification" of the user interface components where interface components are represented by multiple views and manipulated through adaptive panels of a user friendly type. Within the framework, applications are represented by "Multifaceted User Interface (MUI) films." MUI filmshave multi-level adaptation capabilities to support a wider range of people. So, this framework is a way to bridge the gap between "universal design" for people with mildly to moderately disabilities and "orphan design" for people with severe disabilities. In this paper, multifaceted user interface model and implementation examples are described.
