Abstract

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First to provide a description of the direction that research in human-computer interface must evolve, and second to describe one research effort directed at filling a specific gap in the literature. Due to the rapid growth in technology (particularly computers) the human-system interface is rapidly changing thereby introducing new challenges. The prevailing paradigm in human-machine interaction has emphasized human-system interactions that are based on a machine-oriented dialogue. We propose an approach of basing the design of human-machine systems on psychological and biological-centered principles, rather than the hottest new technology of the day.
