Therefore, it can be used in any circumstance where a personalized UI would benefit the user.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, showing only relevant content to a current user with a basic system or subject knowledge creates less confusion and ease of access throughout the site. On the other hand, a user with advanced knowledge will have access to more detailed capabilities and information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some drawbacks are that designing an AUI is time-consuming. Also, to efficiently adapt, an AUI requires a way to measure and predict a particular user\u2019s needs, which involves much sorting and interpreting their information. Furthermore, because this information is stored, users lack privacy while using an AUI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Adaptive User Interface (also known as AUI) is a user interface (UI) that adapts its elements and layout to the user&#8217;s requirements or context<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1292159,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_angie_page":false,"page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15,29],"tags":[16],"class_list":["post-3860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-glossary","category-web-design","tag-build"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1292159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3860"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3860\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3861,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3860\/revisions\/3861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
