Every day we interact with thousands of consumer products. We not
only expect them to perform their functions safely, reliably, and
efficiently, but also to do it so seamlessly that we don't even
think about it. However, with the many factors involved in consumer
product design, from the application of human factors and
ergonomics principles to reducing risks of malfunction and the
total life cycle cost, well, the process just seems to get more
complex. Edited by well-known and well-respected experts, the
two-volumes of Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Consumer
Product Design simplify this process. The first volume, Human
Factors and Ergonomics in Consumer Product Design: Methods and
Techniques, outlines the how to incorporate Human Factors and
Ergonomics (HF/E) principles and knowledge into the design of
consumer products in a variety of applications. It discusses the
user-centered design process, starting with how mental workload
affects every day interactions with consumer products and what
lessons may be applied to product design. The book then highlights
the ever-increasing role of information technology, including
digital imaging, video and other media, and virtual reality
applications in consumer product design. It also explores
user-centered aspect of consumer product development with
discussions of user-centered vs. task-based approach, articulation
and assessment of user requirements and needs, interaction with
design models, and eco design. With contributions from a team of
researchers from 21 countries, the book covers the current state of
the art methods and techniques of product ergonomics. It provides
an increased knowledge of how to apply the HF/E principles that
ultimately leads to better product design.
