Advances in Human Factors and Ergonomics Advances in Applied Digital Human Modeling, (Paperback)

This volume is concerned with digital human modeling: the design of systems that reducing the need for physical prototyping and incorporating ergonomics and human factors earlier in design processes. Digital human models are representations of some aspects of a human that can be inserted into simulations or virtual environments to facilitate prediction of safety, satisfaction, usability and performance. These representations may consider the physical, physiological, cognitive, behavioral or emotional aspects. They are typically represented by some visualization with the math and science computed in the background.
