This book investigates current efforts in human modeling across applications in design, including construction excavators, space environments, and traditional and autonomous vehicles. It emphasizes ergonomic applications in virtual design environments and reveals the application of human models to interpret the impact of research. Human Modeling in Human-Computer Interaction takes a step-by-step approach to effective ergonomic analysis and redesign.
This book emphasizes Digital Human Modeling in HCI and the Think Aloud method for showing how human modelers are meeting design constraints and incorporating ergonomics into design using modern analysis tools. RAMSIS is used to illustrate ergonomic analysis for the physical aspects of tasks including reach, vision and posture analysis. AI tools such as Scite.ai are used to emphasize human emulation for composing insights about the impact of key articles across topics. The methodologies showcased in this book can help readers pursue their own human modeling interests in the future.
This book is for early career practitioners interested in pursuing entry-level engineering roles without much experience using modern tools in human modeling or applying AI toward compiling insights in research. Its appeal will extend to academics and students of industrial engineering, human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence and safety engineering.
