Paper Abstract:
|
This work presents a novel classification scheme for human impairments and aims at being as small as possible while
simultaneously representing the vast diversity of users with impairments with sufficient accuracy. The scheme is based
on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health of the WHO and consists of in total 21
impairment categories which are broadly grouped into the four main areas cognition, senses, voice, and movement. The
classification scheme is of generic nature and can thus be applied to the design of human artifacts and environments in
general, as it considers the plain interaction of the human body with its surroundings in multiple modalities. Simulation
of user impairment is a primary application area. |
