This paper aims to provide designers with a framework to help them organise and apply ergonomics and human factors literature to the design of man-computer interfaces. The framework or classification is primarily concerned with the software interface and its use is illustrated in some human factors recommendations for the design of displays.
The paper reports a survey of interactive computer usage by designers, engineers, economists and other specialists in several industrial organisations. Sixty-nine of these specialists were interviewed about both hardware interface problems, eg, keyboard layout, and software interface problems, eg, how system organisation affects the way the specialist tackles his work. The results of the survey show that interactive computing can be of considerable assistance to specialists, although there are often many difficulties in using the computer system to full advantage.
