“…Research on input devices has focused on the use of dials (Bass et al, 1997), ring shaped sensors on each finger that allow input by finger-tip typing action (Fukumoto and Tonomura, 1997), multimodal inputs (Fleuriot et al, 1995;Long et al, 1995), and picons such as the Triangles system .…”

An interface is the common boundary of two spaces. This paper discusses two very different interfaces. The first section focuses on the interface between the computer and the computer user. Emerging trends in human-computer interface research, including input/output devices, intelligent agents, extended reality, nomadic computing, and ubiquitous computing, are briefly reviewed. The remainder of this paper focuses on a second interface -the interface between computer technology and the human side of an organisation. In this section, the potential impact of computer technology on job design and analysis, performance appraisal, selection, training, careers, disabilities, and work/family conflict is discussed. Although emerging computer technologies impact every aspect of human resource management, research tends to focus on the technological and engineering aspects of the computer interface, rather than on the human resource impacts. This paper concludes by recommending areas for future research for those whose focus is on the organisation's human resources.

“…As seen in analyses of office practice, [35][36][37][38][39][40], the integration of work and artefact (such as desk diaries, electronic diaries, notepads, desktop computers, and voice mail systems) can be effectively threaded transparently through the fabric of work activity.…”

This paper describes the characteristics of technology to support the "knowledge worker" through an analysis of the model of knowledge which they embody. The disparity between this model and the "post-industrial" model of knowledge, coupled with examples of technologies that are designed more sympathetically towards the post-industrial model, provides insights that motivate a design approach explicitly focused on addressing the requirements and circumstances of the knowledge worker.

“…BACKGROUND Our research explores ways of presenting shared schedule information such as availability and location of partners, as in the Wells project [5] which addressed the use of a shared diary in an office context. The major difference between current research and Wells is that it is looking at the needs of equal partners in a domestic, not business relationship.…”
