Toward Adapting Interactions by Considering User Emotions and Capabilities

Ambient Intelligence and Affective Computing areas are working on trying to make interfaces more natural from the human side. Taking personal, device and system characteristics into account, adaptive interfaces might help to achieve a greater user satisfaction and it is expected the results can be enhanced when bearing user affectivity in mind. In this paper, an ontology that describes affective interactions has been extended in order to represent information about user's sensorial and perceptual capabilities when he/she interacts with systems. Two use cases applying ontology are presented herein.
