HYBRID APPROACH TO INTERFACE ADAPTATION

 Computing power anywhere and everywhere  Need interfaces that can adapt to different device conditions and screens  Context dependent interface design UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING

 Static Adaptation - all interface code is implemented in development time  Each device has its own interface version  Provides interface perfectly tailored to specific device  Huge development and maintenance costs  Dynamic Adaptation – interface code is implemented during execution  Use general abstraction to determine how the interface should look  Low development and maintenance costs  Too general, may lead to ineffective interfaces OTHER METHODS
