Smillie, Robert J., Snyder, Harry L., Gunning, David, Inaba, Kay and Booher, Harold R. (1992): What is More Important in Information Design -- the Hardware and Software Used to Process and Present the Information, or the Principles Used to Determine the Content and Format of the Information?. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. p. 1044.

“Proposition: Information Design is nothing more than an interface issue, i.e., the human user and the presentation medium. Research on the following topics is sufficient to design and develop legible, comprehensible, interactive, adaptable electronic display systems: - eye movement, - visual performance, - audition, - document design, - information processing, - data base design/organization, - visual angle, - hypermedia techniques, - color phenomenon, - electronic presentation display technology. After controlling for training, the differences in human performance (reading, understanding, etc.), using such display systems are more a function of the psychophysical factors (spatial, temporal, and chromatic) than information design factors (data organization, graphical representation, and simple english). Therefore, consistent and quantifiable improvement can only be obtained through improvements in image quality that correlate with the psychophysical factors.”
