人間の能力を拡大するヒューマンインタフェース: 「人ができること」の拡大から「人がもつ能力」の拡大へ

摘要

Human interfaces between human and tool/machine and those in automotive technology are reviewed to show how those are developed to extend human performance. Human interfaces in digital era have been developed under the concept of GUI with icons. They are easy to use but they do not represent complexity and uncertainty that is the real world phenomena Shift from interface with symbols to that with analogous graphic representation for driver assistance system will help to expanding drivers' ability of situation awareness of uncertain traffic situation to increase safety.%道具のない時代すなわち素手による狩猟や採取の時代においては,対象とのインタラクションは直接的であり,四肢あるいは手指の自由度をフルに使って対象と関わり,つめ先を含む身体各部の皮膚•開節感覚,運動感覚,そして視覚,聴覚,嗅覚からのフィードバックを得て,獲物の動物の状態を全身を使って感じていた.
