Abstract

The lack of accessibility of ICT applications affects mainly the disabled and/or elderly people, who have a high risk of social exclusion. Using the advantages of adaptive multimodal systems and a well-accepted device like the TV, those difficulties can be surmounted and social exclusion can be stopped. GUIDE intends to simplify the interaction and at the same time not limit the users able to use it, providing multimodal interaction. Also, applications running on GUIDE environment will be able to adapt, on an automated way, to the user's needs and characteristics.
