We are moving towards a future where people will be ever more surrounded by technology and multiple appliances, bringing about the promise of truly intelligent environments. However, this multitude of devices raises several issues to HCI practitioners. Indeed, our preliminary studies confirm that blind people experience difficulties with most appliances, due to inadequate interfaces. The research described here approaches this problem by moving the user interface away from appliances to an intermediary device, which blind people are familiar with and can fully control. Additionally, we propose an automatic generation algorithm, which provides a consistent user interface to all appliances in the environment.
