Advances in Ergonomics Modeling and Usability Evaluation

Taking the field of human factors and ergonomics beyond state of the art, this volume focuses on advances in the use of ergonomics modeling and on the evaluation of usability, which is a critical aspect of any human-technology system. The research described in the book's 70 chapters is an outcome of dedicated research by academics and practitioners from around the world, and across disciplines. The chapters are organized under five sections:

I. Models and Methods
II. Vision and Visual Displays,
III. Product Design and User Interfaces
IV. Input Devices and Computer Based Systems
V. Individual and Environmental Technology Related Issues.

This work provides an invaluable resource for evaluating products and environments and designing future ones that are intuitive, safe, and easy to use. Seven other titles in the Advances in Human Factors and Ergonomics Series are:

Advances in Human Factors and Ergonomics in Healthcare
