Abstract
In this paper we introduce the notion of a Virtual User Lab that employs virtual reality tools to simulate End-Users in realistic application scenarios in order to help industrial designers and application developers to create and test adaptive interfaces that evolve as users' preferences and potential handicaps are discovered. We describe key elements of the VUL, discuss computer visionbased algorithms for facial information processing to understand user behavior and present an email-reading scenario to better highlight the system's adaptive capabilities and practical usability.
