USA and Digital Human Research Center National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology Tokyo, Japan Abstract People are the weakest link in a system. People are the most important component of a system – the system works for them and, often, is Biographical Sketch controlled by them. Yet, people are the least understood component – Takeo Kanade is currently the U.
