Calm technology is a type of information technology where the interaction between the technology and its user is designed to occur in the user’s periphery rather than constantly at the center of attention. Information from the technology smoothly shifts to the user’s attention when needed but otherwise stays calmly in the user’s periphery. Mark Weiser and John Seely Brown describe calm technology as "that which informs but doesn't demand our focus or attention."〔Weiser, Mark and Brown, John Seely (1995). ("Designing Calm Technology" ). Xerox PARC.〕 The use of calm technology is paired with ubiquitous computing as a way to minimize the perceptible invasiveness of computers in everyday life.〔Tugui, Alexandru (2004). ("Calm Technologies In A Multimedia World" ). ACM Digital Library.〕 ==Principles of calm technology== For a technology to be considered calm technology, there are three core principles it should adhere to: # The user’s attention to the technology must reside mainly in the periphery. This means that either the technology can easily shift between the center of attention and the periphery or that much of the information conveyed by the technology is present in the periphery rather than the center. # The technology increases a user’s use of his or her periphery. This creates a pleasant user experience by not overburdening the user with information. # The technology relays a sense of familiarity to the user and allows awareness of the user’s surroundings in the past, present, and future.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calm technology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
