Human Factors of erogonmics


Designing for people.

Ergonomics is about designing for people that interactive with products, processes or systems. We usually do not think about the design process of the product we are using unless it is a bad design! Therefore this is evidence that the majority of products we interactive with in our every day lives are indeed well thought out and all the human factors have been considered.

"The design compliments the strength and ability of people, rather than enforcing them to adopt."

For the Handle I will apply the following ergonomics's                                       
  • Easy to use
  • Comfortable
  • Safe
  • Efficient
  • Clear instruction.
  • Non-slip
  • Size and thickness/comfort
  • Material
  • Functionality
  • Visually stimulating
Interaction with the product must be engaging, harmoniously by stimulating the senses while eating and using smell and sound to generate emotion.
