This raising of H.C.I. to a central player in software application and design, has allowed the user to issue commands by simply selecting from a number of display icons or buttons. As such, this methodological approach has lead to reduced learning, reduced keystroke time and structured interface decision-making. The following project will apply H.C.I. techniques to a VCR interface and evaluate this process through a number of H.C.I. guidelines. This approach will focus on keeping the user interface clean and simple, with the novice user being the targeted market. Finally, a hypothesis will be used to test the validity of the overall project. Introduction The technological advances in software development over the last two decades have seen a number of significant improvements in the
