Computing, communications technologies, and associated enterprises advanced enough in the early 1990s for the national information infra- structure (NII) to be accepted as public infrastructure. As a result, concern is growing about what will be required to enable most if not all of the public to use NII resources. The opportunity for broad public access and use reflects many factors, among them the technologies used directly by people as part of their interactions with the information and communications systems that make up the NII. This report outlines issues and directions for progress in developing interface technologies that will enable in- creasing numbers of people to use the NII effectively. Drawing from a late 1996 workshop hosted by the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board, the steering committee responsible for this project derived ideas for research in computing, communications, and social science to advance the underlying sciences and enable development of innovative, implementable concepts for interfaces that are more usable and capable than today’s technologies and are accessible by as many people as possible.
