Interactive adaptive interface using recursive fuzzy reasoning

Abstract

In the design of a machine which adapts to the user by considering personal differences, this paper considers the interactive relationship that both user and machine employ to try to adapt to each other. This relationship is called the 'interactive adaptation'. The interactive adaptive interface (IAI/F) is an intelligent interface which is designed under consideration of the interactive adaptation. This interface changes the characteristics of the system according to the given task, considering the states of the user, such as skill level, technique, characteristics, physical condition, etc. A design and realization method for the IAI/F which is based on recursive fuzzy reasoning is proposed. As an application example, a virtual reality simulation game is presented and the IAI/F based on the user's performance and the skin potential reflex (G.S.R.) is applied. The authors present the system, considering the interactive adaptation and show some experimental results and statistical evaluation results to discuss its effectiveness.
