ObliTech / Human–technology interaction

People are part of the system

A technical interface takes shape through its interaction with the person using it. Our approach connects engineering requirements, operating context and an understanding of human experience.

Understand the context of use

Tasks, interaction duration, differences between users and the environment influence a solution’s requirements. Defining these early helps guide development and select relevant assessment criteria.

Connect complementary perspectives

ObliTech brings engineering research together with expertise in people and organisations. This combination informs questions about usability, accessibility, comfort and the conditions for technology adoption.

Verify with appropriate criteria

Interface assessment must distinguish technical behaviour, user experience and application objectives. Studies involving people require appropriate protocols, expertise and safeguards. Findings apply within the observed scope and do not automatically imply clinical benefits.

What a project can define

  • Use scenarios and human requirements
  • Verification questions for the interface
  • Conditions for application assessment

Before we begin

Where does interface design start?

With the user’s task and context: what they need to do, which difficulties they face and which technical constraints must be respected.

Which benefits can be stated?

Those supported by relevant evidence that can be shared. Comfort, safety and accessibility need specific criteria; they are not automatic consequences of a new technology.

A clear question is a strong beginning
