Resumo

In this paper, a multimodal interaction system for people with disabilities is presented. The system combines four different interaction techniques in a single graphical user interface for playback multimedia content. The combination of different interaction modalities aims to expand the number of potential users, by allowing the selection of appropriate interactions that fulfil their specific needs. In this work, we validate, for a study case, the idea that different methods of interaction allow a higher accessibility, this way, individuals experiencing permanent or temporary disabilities could benefit from technology applications.
