apply scientific human information to design

human measurements for ergonomics

measurements taken when subject is in standard position, easier to gather

measurements taken when subject performs physical activity; e.g. reaching center of table

dispersion of measurements within a sample population

min/max distance required for a user group to pass through an area; e.g. emergency exits, doors

space where activity is carried out at a fixed location; e.g. desk space

sensory stimuli that affects user perception, efficiency, comfort; e.g. temperature, light, sound, smell

automatic system, interpreting stimuli and reacting; inputs, sensory, central and motor processes, outputs

when a stage in system fails, changes how the user reacts

groups objects by name; e.g. brand names

groups objects based on ranked order/position; e.g. bronze, silver, gold

groups objects with equal difference between each other; e.g. likert scales

grouping objects with true zero measurement, more precise/reliable comparison; e.g. height/weight

environmental stimuli that bodies react to

considers productivity- endurance, muscle strength in positions; e.g. gaming chairs

considers how prolonged use of a product impacts human body; e.g. lifting heavy, bending

information about how one's body functions

study of body mechanical movements and how they respond to forces; e.g. range of motion

force required, repetition, posture, and duration of task
