Human factors and ergonomics
A scientific discipline concerned with how humans interact with elements
What is Human Factors?
needs and capabilities of the users are determined and incorporated in the design (obtained through design process - start to finish)
What is UCD?
Often referred to as the "eureka moment"
What is an act of insight?
A force on a material divided by the cross sectional area of the material
What is stress?
Measurements from activities
What is dynamic data?
needs and capabilities of the users are determined and incorporated in the design (obtained through design process - start to finish)
What is UCD trinity?
A solution to a problem in one field is used to provide a new idea for a design problem in another.
What is Adaptation (innovation strategies)?
The response of a material due to stress, defined as the change in length divided by the original length
What is strain?
The application of scientific information concerning the relationship of human beings (shape) to design of objects, systems and environments.
What is ergonomics?
A profile of those for whom a product is not designed
What is an Anti-personae?
The technology of the components stays the same, but the configuration of the components is changed to produce a new design.
What is Architectural innovation?
Alloy the exhibits exceptional mechanical properties, resistance to thermal creep deformation, good surface stability, and resistance to errosion
What is the super alloy?
Light, smell, noise, taste, temperature, etc.
What are psychological factor data?
Should make it easy for the user to:
- determine possible actions at any time
- see the options and results of actions
- determine current state of system
- follow intuitively from intention to action
What is a whole user experience?
Act of insight
Adaptation
Technology transfer
Analogy
Chance
Technology push
Market pull
What are the Strategies for Innovation?
Heat treating process that increases the toughness of iron based metals by heating the metal and allowing it to cool in air. This can increase ductility and decrease brittleness
What is tempering?
Tell you whether the measurement given in the tables relates to the ‘average’ person
What are percentile ranges?
1. Research
2. Concept
3. Design
4. Implementation
5. Launch
What are the five stages of UCD?
An idea from one context is used to stimulate ideas for solving a problem in another context.
What is Analogy (innovation strategies)?
A method for creating a decorative fabric that is woven into symmetrical patterns and figures
What is lacemaking?
