A tool that allows a person to interact with a computer. For example, a mouse is an interface device that allows you to put information into a computer. Virtual reality includes interface devices such as head-mounted displays that transmit sensations of the artificial world, as well as transmitting information into the computer.

Simulation Simulation. A computer model of a real phenomenon or system. The system is described by a set of mathematical formulae or models in a computer program. Running the computer program shows how the system works and, by changing variables, it is possible to make predictions about how the real system will change. When there are many variables, simulation is often the only way to reasonably predict an outcome.
Interaction Interaction A mutual or reciprocal action; interacting.
Interactivite Interactivity The quality of that which is interactive.
Effecteur Effector
1. A nerve fiber that terminates on a muscle or gland and stimulates contraction or secretion.
2. An organ that becomes active in response to stimulation.
metrologie metrology The science of, or a system of, weights and measures; also, a treatise on the subject.
psychophysique psychophysics The branch of psychology concerned with quantitative relations between physical stimuli and their psychological effects.
scheme schema An internal representation of the world; an organisation of concepts and actions that can be revised by new information about the world.
