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 places special emphasis on new technologies such as virtual reality, state-of-the-art methodologies in information design, and humancomputer interfaces. Based on the AHFE 2017 International Conference on Ergonomics in Design, held on July 1721, 2017, in Los Angeles, California, USA, the book offers a timely guide for both researchers and design practitioners, including industrialdesigners, humancomputer interaction and user experience researchers, production engineers and applied psychologists.
