GUIDE Project Publications
The GUIDE project publications document how researchers designed adaptive TV interfaces, modelled user needs and tested alternative controls with older adults. This reading list groups selected sources by the questions they answer. The archived publications index (external site) contains further historical entries.
Which papers explain the architecture?
The architecture papers describe how GUIDE connected applications to input devices and used profiles to personalise the experience. Start with the project overview for the development workflow, then read the adaptation paper for the handling of input and feedback.
- GUIDE: Creating accessible TV applications (2011) introduces the framework, the development tools and the role of user-centred design. University of Lisbon record (external site)
- The contribution of multimodal adaptation techniques to the GUIDE interface (2011) explains how user models inform the handling of multiple inputs and outputs. DOI (external site)
Which papers describe simulation and user testing?
The simulation and user-testing papers cover different stages of development. Simulation helps designers investigate barriers in a proposed interface. Participant studies show how real people used a prototype and what they thought of the setup and control options.
- Multimodal adaptation through simulation for digital TV interface (2011) describes the simulator and its use in design. DOI (external site)
- TV applications for the elderly: Assessing the acceptance of adaptation and multimodality (2013) reports a study with 40 older adults in Spain and the UK. University of Lisbon record (external site) · Full paper (external site)
- An accessible, adaptive and multimodal digital TV framework and corresponding development tool (2013) explains how the simulator can complement design work with users. University of Lisbon record (external site)
