老年人和残疾人可以从现代电子设备的进步中获得巨大的好处，因为这些设备可以帮助他们更充分地与世界接触。然而，现有的设计实践往往将老年或残疾用户视为有特殊需求的用户，从而将他们隔离开来。本文介绍了一种能够反映老年和残疾用户在使用计算机、电视和类似电子设备时所面临的问题的模拟器。模拟器既体现了应用程序的内部状态，也体现了用户的感知、认知和运动过程。它可以帮助界面设计者理解、可视化和测量损伤对界面交互的影响。首先简要介绍了不同的用户建模技术，然后对现有的用户建模技术进行了分类。在现有建模方法的背景下，用户建模的工作是为具有广泛能力的人提供的。文中还讨论了该模拟器的几个应用，表明预测的准确性足以做出设计选择，并指出了这项工作的含义和局限性。
Elderly and disabled people can be hugely benefited through the advancement of modern electronic devices, as those can help them to engage more fully with the world. However, existing design practices often isolate elderly or disabled users by considering them as users with special needs. This article presents a simulator that can reflect problems faced by elderly and disabled users while they use computer, television, and similar electronic devices. The simulator embodies both the internal state of an application and the perceptual, cognitive, and motor processes of its user. It can help interface designers to understand, visualize, and measure the effect of impairment on interaction with an interface. Initially a brief survey of different user modeling techniques is presented, and then the existing models are classified into different categories. In the context of existing modeling approaches the work on user modeling is presented for people with a wide range of abilities. A few applications of the simulator, which shows the predictions are accurate enough to make design choices and point out the implication and limitations of the work, are also discussed.
