Advances in Ergonomics in Design

This book provides readers with a timely snapshot of ergonomics research and methods applied to the design, development and prototyping as well as the evaluation, training and manufacturing of products, systems and services. Combining theoretical contributions, case studies, and reports on technical interventions, it covers a wide range of topics in ergonomic design including: ecological design; educational and game design; cultural and ethical aspects in design; user research and humancomputer interaction in design; as well as design for accessibility and extreme environments, and many others. The book particularly focuses on new technologies such as virtual reality, state-of-the-art methodologies in information design, and humancomputer interfaces. Based on the AHFE 2018 International Conference on Ergonomics in Design, held on July 2125, 2018, in Orlando, Florida, USA, the book offers a timely guide for both researchers and design practitioners, including industrial designers, humancomputer interaction and user experience researchers, production engineers and applied psychologists.

Offers a broad, timely perspective on human-centered product design Highlights the importance of ergonomics and human factors principles in product, system and service design Covers the entire design process, including evaluation, development and training
