Who are the Potential Users of a CAD (Computer Aided Design) System

摘要

The University of Michigan is helping Chrysler develop a user interface to a new Computer-Aided Surfacing (CAS) system, a special purpose Computer-Aided Design (CAD) system. The CAS system will be used to design body and interior surfaces for future vehicles. The project came about because Chrysler recognized that the CAS software should be easy to use if their designers were to take full advantage of it. Chrysler has shown great interest in learning about how to apply human factors methods and principles to the design of user interfaces. The report describes the overall plan for developing the user interface and describes the candidate user population in great detail.
