Currently people deal with various entities (such as hardware, software, buildings, spaces, communities and other people), to meet specific goals while going about their everyday activities in work and leisure environments. These entities have become more and more complex and incorporate functions that hitherto had never been allocated such as automation, use in virtual environments, connectivity, personalization, mobility and friendliness. This book contributes to the analysis of human-system interactions from the perspective of ergonomics, regardless of how simple or complex they are, while incorporating the needs of users and workers in a healthy safe, efficient and enjoyable manner. This book provides a comprehensive review of the state of the art of current ergonomic in design methods and techniques that are being applied to products, machinery, equipment, workstations and systems while taking new technologies and their applications into consideration. Ergonomics in Design: Methods and Techniques is organized into four sections and 30 chapters covering topics such as conceptual aspects of ergonomics in design, the knowledge of human characteristics applied to design, and the methodological aspects of design. Examples are shown in several areas of design including, but not limited to, consumer products, games, transport, education, architecture, fashion, sustainability, biomechanics, intelligent systems, virtual reality, and neurodesign. This book will: Introduces the newest developments in social-cultural approaches Shows different ergonomics in design methodological approaches Divulges the ways that ergonomics can contribute to a successful design Applies different subjects to support the design including –ergonomics, engineering, architecture, urbanism, neuro, and product designs. Presents recent technologies in ergonomic design, as applied to product design. With the contributions from a team of 75 researchers from 11 countries, the book covers the state-of-the-art of ergonomics in a way to produce better design.

El objetivo del libro es proporcionar una amplia informacion sobre la comunicacion mediante simbolos graficos en vista a la utilizacion practica y a la profundizacion teorica como condiciones previas para su ulterior desarrollo. En nuestro tiempo, junto al lenguaje hablado y escrito, los simbolos visuales y especialmente los simbolos graficos se han convertido en medios de entendimiento indispensables. La aceleracion de este desarrollo, desde principios de nuestro siglo, indica que para determinadas situaciones comunicativas, el idioma y su transmision escrita o tipografica se sustituye progresivamente por simbolos. Esta situacion se produce en todos aquellos sectores donde se pretende la superacion de las barreras linguisticas. En principio, este hecho se origino a causa del trafico internacional. Progresivamente, a traves de la explosion del desarrollo industrial y superada ya la autosuficiencia local y nacional, se ha desarrollado un intercambio y una dependencia universales entre naciones. Densas redes aereas y ferroviarias enlazan los continentes. Pero no solo el sector de la produccion sino tambien el sector terciario y el mundo de la cultura se han visto arrastrados por este intercambio universal. Un elevado numero de turistas pasa sus vacaciones en paises extranjeros. Regularmente se celebran certamenes deportivos internacionales, olimpiadas y congresos. El necesario desarrollo de simbolos graficos internacionales ha producido, al mismo tiempo, una inflacion de los mismos. Se tiene la impresion como si cada acontecimiento internacional debiera inventar su propio sistema de signos. Parece, pues, una medida de caracter urgente la obligatoria estandarizacion de los simbolosgraficos, en interes de la comunicacion internacional. Es el proposito de este libro, presentar una documentacion y recopilacion completas del estado de desarrollo de los sistemas de signos, de la comunicacion visual, con un alcance lo mas am

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 industrial designers, human–computer interaction and user experience researchers, production engineers and applied psychologists.
