Ergonomics
If products
are to be used by people then some consideration of the sizes
of consumers hands, legs, heads, arms, etc should be included
in the design. If a motor vehicle had control pedals that
were 2 metres from the seat then it would be difficult to operate
the pedals and sit in the seat - Not the ideal situation for a
comfortable trip ! A product can be said to be ergonomically
well designed if it has taken account of the users' size and attributes
and consequently is comfortable and efficient in its use.
Anthropometrics
and Ergonomics are therefore very closely linked.
