Currently people deal with various entities (such as hardware,
software, buildings, spaces, communities and other people), to meet
specific goals while going about their everyday activities in work
and leisure environments. These entities have become more and more
complex and incorporate functions that hitherto had never been
allocated such as automation, use in virtual environments,
connectivity, personalization, mobility and friendliness. This book
contributes to the analysis of human-system interactions from the
perspective of ergonomics, regardless of how simple or complex they
are, while incorporating the needs of users and workers in a
healthy safe, efficient and enjoyable manner. This book provides a
comprehensive review of the state of the art of current ergonomic
in design methods and techniques that are being applied to
products, machinery, equipment, workstations and systems while
taking new technologies and their applications into consideration.
Ergonomics in Design: Methods and Techniques is organized into four
sections and 30 chapters covering topics such as conceptual aspects
of ergonomics in design, the knowledge of human characteristics
applied to design, and the methodological aspects of design.
Examples are shown in several areas of design including, but not
limited to, consumer products, games, transport, education,
architecture, fashion, sustainability, biomechanics, intelligent
systems, virtual reality, and neurodesign. This book will:
Introduces the newest developments in social-cultural approaches
Shows different ergonomics in design methodological approaches
Divulges the ways that ergonomics can contribute to a successful
design Applies different subjects to support the design including
-ergonomics, engineering, architecture, urbanism, neuro, and
product designs. Presents recent technologies in ergonomic design,
as applied to product design. With the contributions from a team of
75 researchers from 11 countries, the book covers the
state-of-the-art of ergonomics in a way to produce better design.
