Human body motion interface for the mobility and its applications

This paper discusses the design and evaluation of the interface for a small boarding type vehicle. First, we consider the structure of the interface and explain the framework to design the intuitive interface, and outline that the interface should be 3 layers structure “input layer, processing layer, output layer”. Next, the concept of the human body motion interface is presented. And we describe the design and evaluation of the interface through the two application examples of human body motion interface. One is the electric wheelchair, the other is the personal mobility. Through two examples, it turned out that designing the input and processing layer based on the human characteristics is one of the methods to provide easy or intuitive operation for the small boarding vehicle.
