Are ambient intelligent applications universally accessible?

The emergent HCI literature shows universal access and ambient intelligence as growth hot spots. If so, it is important to ask if the latter can contribute to the former. One approach, taken here, is to evaluate the accessibility of ambient intelligent systems. To answer this question, a sample of 200 papers were generated from the ACM Digital Library and six systems were selected for in-depth evaluation. Surprisingly, the data showed that, whilst they were rated well for accessibility, they were significantly less so for system “ smartness” or user satisfaction. Usability was also rated more highly than user satisfaction and smartness.
