The i-match Project: A VR Based System to Allow Matching of an Optimum Interface to a User of Assistive Technology Farshid Amirabdollahian, Univ. of Newcastle, UK;Marko Munih, Univ. Ljubljana, Slovenia; Fotis Kouris, HITECH SNT SA, Greece; Elena Laudanna, FDG-SIVA, Italy; Emma Stokes, TCD, Ireland; and Garth Johnson, Univ. of Newcastle, UK • A user of assistive technology is likely to have upper limb impairments • What are the user’s upper limb skills? • How can they be best used to control an item of assistive technology? • The challenge – to use state of the art technology: 1- To measure user skills 2- To characterise different interface devices (switch, joystick, etc) 3- To match 1 and 2 and aid selecting the optimum interface Schedule Code (FrA01.1)
