Abstract: In this position statement, challenges in three areas of information and data interface development are considered. These are: interfaces to the technology that are used to deliver communication primitives; interfaces to the presentation of a single information projection on a particular system; and interfaces to the abstract information containing the ultimate message that the technological messenger is trying to present. Since the nature of this statement makes the presentation cursory, I will focus on the needs of the user rather than the potential of the infrastructure.Categories and Subject Descriptors: H.1.2 [Information Systems]: Hyman Factors; H.5.1 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: Multimedia Information Systems - Hypertext navigation and maps
General Terms: HCI Interface Technology
Additional Key Words and Phrases: Input interfaces, Multimedia, Hypermedia
