Awareness oriented human interface based on background activities
Kimiya Yamaashi · IEEJ Transactions on Electronics Information and Systems · 2001
Amount of data for operators is increasing, but the amount of information, which operators obtain is not increasing because conventional human interfaces only focus on human foreground awareness. Users usually obtain information with both of background and foreground awareness. This paper proposes a new human interface style (awareness oriented human interface), which exploits the human background awareness. The human interface promotes the operator's abilities of recognition by, 1) providing information for both of foreground and background awareness simultaneously, 2) information navigation between foreground and background awareness, 3) awareness oriented information processing, 4) supporting public awareness for multiple operators.
