At the i2Web project kickoff meeting
Tuesday, 21 December 2010
Mark and Josh recently attended the kickoff meeting of the i2Web project at the offices of Fraunhoffer FIT in Bonn. i2Web is a new EU funded research project that NCBI CFIT is a partner in. The project aims to bring older people and people with disabilities into the design and development of accessible next generation internet applications, including Web 2.0, mobile and IPTV. It will do this by creating create virtual user models that can be implemented as visualization components in existing design tools and workflows. It has a lot of similarities to the VICON project which we are already involved in. But it also adds another element - adaptive user interfaces.
