MEDIA INTERACTIVE RESEARCH GROUP is a research group formed under the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). Located in Malacca, Malaysia, the research group concentrating in doing research in a field called 'Assistive Technology'.

Assistive technology (AT) is a generic term that includes assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities and includes the process used in selecting, locating, and using them.

The Technology-Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities states that it is "technology designed to be utilized in an assistive technology device or assistive technology service."

AT promotes greater independence by enabling people to perform tasks that they were formerly unable to accomplish, or had great difficulty accomplishing, by providing enhancements to or changed methods of interacting with the technology needed to accomplish such tasks.

Likewise, disability advocates point out that technology is often created without regard to people with disabilities, creating unnecessary barriers to hundreds of millions of people.
