Cognitive Engineering and Decision Making

Display and Interface Design Subtle Science, Exact Art

Designing Displays for Older Adults Richard Pak

Clemson University, South Carolina, USA

Kevin B. Bennett and John M. Flach

Anne McLaughlin

The reason that good interfaces are few and far between is really quite simple: they are extremely difficult to design and build properly. While there are many books available that address display design, most of them focus on aesthetic principles but lack scientific rigor, or are descriptive but not prescriptive. This book elucidates an overarching framework for design that can be applied to the broad spectrum of existing domains. The authors delineate analytical tools and principles of design that are general and powerful, but very abstract, accompanied by concrete examples of their use in a variety of domains of application. The book includes access to a website containing examples of the dynamic properties of displays.

A distillation of decades of published research, this book is a primer on age-related changes in cognition, perception, and behavior organized into meaningful principles that improve understanding. It explores the complex set of mental and physical changes that occur during aging and that can affect technology acceptance, adoption, interaction, safety, and satisfaction. The authors open the way for designing with an understanding of these changes that results in better products and systems for users in all life stages.

Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa Series: Human Factors and Ergonomics

The advent of augmented reality technologies used to assist human operators in complex manipulative operations has brought urgency to research into the modeling and training of human skills in virtual environments. However, modeling a specific act still represents a challenge in cognitive science. The same applies for the control of humanoid robots and the replication of skilled behavior of avatars in virtual environments. Skill Training in Multimodal Virtual Environments presents the scientific background, research outcomes, engineering developments, and evaluation studies conducted during the five years (2006−2011) of the project SKILLS: Multimodal Interfaces for Capturing and Transfer of Skill, funded by the European Commission under its 6th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. The SKILLS project evaluated how to exploit robotics and virtual environment technologies for the training of specific skills. This book details the novel approach used in the study to cope with skill acquisition, setting aside the mainstream assumptions of common computer-assisted training simulators. It explores how the SKILLS approach generated new training scenarios that allow users to practice new experiences in the performance of the devised task. Using a carefully designed approach that balances science with practicality, the book explores how virtual and augmented reality systems can be designed to address skill transfer and training in different application contexts. The application of the same roadmap to skills originating from domains such as sports, rehabilitation, and industrial environments as well as surgery sets this book apart. It demonstrates how technology-oriented training conditions can yield better results than more traditional training conditions. • Provides an understanding of the deconstruction and modeling of human skills • Details evaluation and transfer methodology and their applications • Covers advances in virtual reality technology focused to skill capture and transfer • Defines the digital representation of skills

Manual lifting tasks—whether simple or complex—involve variable loads, postures, and movements. While many solutions to the occupational risk of biomechanical overload are available, prevention at the source can resolve many of the issues before they become issues. Prevention should be done directly by those designing the workplace and the work itself. A practical guide on how to analyze the intricate lifting function and prevent injury during its execution, Manual Lifting: A Guide to the Study of Simple and Complex Lifting Tasks outlines revised NIOSH Lifting Equation (RNLE) methods and illustrates their use in assessing manual lifting tasks of varying degrees of difficulty. The book explains how RNLE methods can be applied to evaluate single, composite, variable, and sequential lifting tasks. It also explores how to interpret and apply the results according to international standards and guidelines. In this book the authors respond to the need to make more easily measurable, and therefore manageable, the matter of biomechanical overload due to manual loads handling—even by personnel not particularly skilled in ergonomics. Designed to be an operating manual, the book makes the information understandable and accessible, outlining the different manual lifting scenarios from the simpler to the more complex. For each scenario, the authors provide examples of calculation using simple tools and make Excel spreadsheets available on www.epmresearch.org
