Accessible display design to control home area networks

Recently, the social inclusion and technical aid to assure autonomy to people with disabilities are getting attention all over the world. We present a display design for accessible interaction in home area networks. Based on a research on the accessible interfaces state of the art, an interface design was proposed. This interface was implemented over a Tablet that controls the domestic devices through a home network controller prototype. In order to evaluate the design, a research was conducted, interviewing people with disabilities in Brazil. This research consolidated a feasible accessible interface to control home area networks pointing out the main requirements for home area networks considering a diversified group of impairments.
