Abstract
This paper presents a geo-visualization system that can be personalized based on range of abilities of users and contexts of use. The personalization features uses the Inclusive User Model which simulates interaction and uses those to adapt interfaces based on perceptual, cognitive and motor abilities of users. For example, the proposed visualization system will automatically adjust font size and colour contrast based on perceptual capability of users. It also adjusts spacing between interactive screen elements based on motor abilities of users and context of use. A preliminary user study confirmed that the personalization feature can enhance the usability experience of users.
