Self-adapting user interface

A user interface that dynamically modifies its presentation, interaction modalities, or behaviour in response to changing conditions such as user capabilities, environmental factors, device characteristics, or content requirements. Unlike adaptable interfaces (which users manually configure), self-adapting interfaces make adjustment decisions autonomously based on modeled parameters. In accessibility, self-adapting interfaces represent a move away from fixed visual metaphors with bolt-on assistive technology toward interfaces that can select the most appropriate design space (visual, sonic, or haptic) and interaction metaphors to match individual user capability profiles. This requires late binding of abstract interface descriptions to concrete realizations, and a semantic understanding of content meaning independent of any particular presentation form.
