This Special Session collects publications about the newest advances and trends in Human Computer Interfaces (HCI) for people with motor disorders. The objective is to present the most recent technologies used in the context of HCI and discuss potential users that may benefit from these Assistive Technologies, concerning applications for communication and other fundamental daily activities as mobility, manipulation or cognition. HCI are important for people with complex communication needs caused, in most cases, by motor and cognitive disorders. These devices intend to reduce the gap caused by the disability, connecting the user with his/her both physical and social contexts. This session is also aimed at assessing potential users including those with progressive neuromuscular diseases and severe motor dysfunctions (e.g. locked-in syndrome, traumatic brain injury, stroke and cerebral palsy). It encourages authors working on emerging systems that play an important role in augmentative and alternative communication and that will include eye-tracking systems, biosensors (e.g. Electromyography, Inertial Sensor, Brain-Computer Interfaces) and multimodal interfaces. Nowadays, the Human Computer Interfaces are not only used for communication purposes. Besides communication, users with motor disorders can benefit from HCI for performing rehabilitation tasks. The combination of HCI with virtual environments (e.g. videogames) is a new trend in the rehabilitation of people who suffer cognitive and motor disorders. Finally, this Special Session will also present papers focused on designing and validating strategies to reduce the effect of the motor disorder on the control of the devices (e.g. filtering techniques or adaptive software).
