Several industrial and academic research groups are
working to simplify the control of appliances and services
by creating a truly universal remote control. Unlike the
preprogrammed remote controls available today, these
new controllers download a specification from the appliance
or service and use it to automatically generate a
remote control interface. This promises to be a useful
approach because the specification can be made detailed
enough to generate both speech and graphical interfaces.
Unfortunately, generating good user interfaces can be
difficult. Based on user studies and prototype implementations,
this paper presents a set of requirements that we
have found are needed for automatic interface generation
systems to create high-quality user interfaces.
