Abstract

The acceptability of consumer products often relies upon ease of successful use. Here there is a crossover between the functionality and how the user can derive the actions required. The form of these relationships can encompass the complexity of the physical actions that are required, the experience and capability of the user, and the social context in which the use takes place.
