The terminology in this field is not standardised but they all involve the same thing: that products should be adpated to humans and not the other way around. This feels quite obvious nowadays, and we have now long known the benefits of good usability and ergonomics. Some examples: For the consumer market usability makes the users happy which in turn is good for business.
