Mainstreaming Design for All in Ami Environments in a Dedicated Experimentation and Demonstration Facility

摘要

This paper discusses the contribution of an Ambient Intelligence (Ami) facility towards adopting, promoting and mainstreaming Design for All principles and approaches. Design for All is fostered through the multidisciplinary approach that is adopted, the scientific exchange and experimentation actively engaging researchers, the capabilities offered by AmI environments towards supporting multimodal interaction and multimedia output, the actual involvement of representative users, as well as the networking activities that are ensued.
