Ergonomics and Human Factors Soares Rebelo Advances in Successful interaction with products, tools, and technologies depends on usable designs, accommodating the needs of potential users and does not Usability Evaluation require costly training. In this context, Advances in Usability Evaluation Part, I discusses emerging concepts, theories, and applications of human factors knowledge focusing on the discovery and understanding of human interaction with products and systems for their improvement. A d Features v Part I a • Explains successful interaction with products, tools and n technologies c e • Discusses emerging concepts, theories, and applications s of human factors knowledge focusing on the discovery and in understanding of human interaction with products and systems U • Organizes the information into three sections: Devices and Their s User Interfaces, User Studies, and Product Design and Evaluation a b The book covers devices and their interfaces, focusing on optimization of i l user devices and emphasizing visual and haptic feedback. It then discusses i t user studies, exploring the limits and capabilities of special populations, y particularly the elderly, which can influence the design. It also examines the E Edited by effect of changes in force and kinematics, physiology, cognitive performance, v in the design of consumer products, tools and workplaces. a l Marcelo M. Soares u Examining a variety of user-centered evaluation approaches, the concluding a chapters detail methods for developing products that can improve safety t i and and human performance and, at same time, the efficiency of the system. o The book reports on usability evaluations for different kinds of products and n technologies, particularly for cellular phones, earphones, earphone controls, Francesco Rebelo mattresses and pillows, package and professional tools, and service systems. It also provides new methods that enhance performance, expand capabilities, and optimize the fit between people and technology.
