Abstract :
Historically, human-system interfaces have not, in general, received the human factors attention they deserve. One approach to overcoming the problems of poor human-system interface designs is to exploit the human´s natural information processing and motor control skills in order to enhance situational awareness and minimise mental and physical workload. This paper describes the early stages and results of a UK Project which addresses the design of ´natural´ or ´intuitive´ interfaces by combining telepresence and virtual reality technologies.<>
