Human-machine interface for electronic equipment TRON/GUI

Abstract

In May 1993, the TRON Electronic Equipment Human-Machine Interface (IIMI) Research Group prepared a set of guidelines called the TRON Human-Machine Interface Specifications. These guidelines are an outcome of the Group's efforts that were made for ideal human-machine interfaces. In the area of human-machine interfaces, many studies (for example, those on legible screens, easy-to-use keyboards, etc.) have been conducted and reported. However, many experiments with different interfaces are still used in homes and offices, so users make extra efforts to operate such equipments because of the diversified operating display methods. The purpose of the guidelines (TRON Human-Machine Interface Specifications) is to ease and standardize the operations of home-use electronic equipments.
