Advances in Ergonomics in Design : Proceedings of the AHFE 2020 Virtual Conference on Ergonomics in Design, July 16-20, 2020, USA

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; cultural and ethical aspects in design; interface design, user involvement and human-computer interaction in design; as well as design for accessibility and many others. The book particularly focuses on new technologies such as virtual reality, state-of-the-art methodologies in information design, and human-computer interfaces. Based on the AHFE 2020 Virtual Conference on Ergonomics in Design, held on July 10-16, 2020, the book offers a timely guide for both researchers and design practitioners, including industrial designers, human-computer interaction and user experience researchers, production engineers and applied psychologists.
