Produktbeschreibung
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 human-computer 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 human-computer interfaces. Based on the AHFE 2017 International Conference on Ergonomics in Design, held on July 17-21, 2017, in Los Angeles, California, USA, the book offers a timely guide for both researchers and design practitioners, including industrialdesigners, human-computer interaction and user experience researchers, production engineers and applied psychologists.

Autorenporträt
Francisco Rebelo is an ergonomist researcher whose work has focused on the interaction of design with emerging technologies. He is the Head of the ErgoVR research and is mainly involved in the modeling of Virtual Environments to study and optimize human interaction in ergonomic design. Marcelo Soares has taught on a broad range of subjects in the Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) domain, including Industrial and Product Ergonomics, and has held positions as a teacher and researcher in Mexico, Portugal, the UK, and the US. He pioneered the implementation of an HFE distance learning course in Brazil and postgraduate programs in HFE for the North and Northeast regions of Brazil. His scientific publications have mainly focused on the topics Usability, Product Design, Manufacturing, Information, and Cognitive Ergonomics.
