A Review on Roles of Next Generation User Interface to Support People with Disabilities

Abstract

User interfaces of the next generation are a significant step forward in technological development. They bring potential that have never been seen before for boosting accessibility and inclusivity, particularly for people who have disabilities. These interfaces, driven by state-of-the-art technology like AI, NLP, and gesture detection, enable users to overcome limitations in their physical abilities. These interfaces provide individualized solutions to several requirements. They empower those with visual impairments by providing them with superior screen readers, and they empower individuals with motor disabilities by providing them with intuitive gesture-based interactions. This can be accomplished by democratising access to information and communication. The principles of inclusive design that are included into these interfaces give accessibility the highest priority from the very beginning, thereby creating environments in which dignity and autonomy are prioritised. The influence extends beyond the realm of convenience, permeating social inclusion and empowerment through the provision of tools for communication, cooperation, and engagement. The revolutionary potential of next-generation user interfaces promises a future in which disability is associated with infinite potential. This is because innovation is continuing to meet unmet requirements, such as brain-computer interfaces and devices that use augmented reality. The purpose of this abstract is to investigate the substantial consequences of next-generation user interfaces in the process of making society more accessible and inclusive. This will ensure that everyone, regardless of their ability, has the opportunity to flourish and make meaningful contributions.
