In-Depth Information
the redesign of a sonificated web search engine is presented as an example of the growing
need of the UX approach in the AT design.
Summary of the Chapter
This chapter discusses the relation and the role of the constructs of accessibility and
usability under the user experience theoretical approach. An integrated model of interac-
tion evaluation, a new evaluation perspective based on the user experience, is presented as
a framework not only to set up an evaluation of the users' interaction with assistive tech-
nology, but also to organize and evaluate the Assistive Technology Assessment process.
