The power of pezonomicsThis reflection of human-computer interface and its requirements as virtual technology is advanced, proposes a new term: 'Pezonomics'. The term replaces the term ergonomics ('the law of work') with a definition pointing to 'the law of play.' The necessity of this term, the author reasons, comes from the need to 'capture the essence of play and calibrate our computer systems to its cadences.' Pezonomics will ensure that artificial environments, in particular virtual reality, are user friendly.
