Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of various sensors and digital technologies, new digital products such as bio-signal measuring equipment and VR/AR equipment are being developed. However, the implementation and application of these new technologies as well as the maximization of value-added or utility through ergonomic application of these technologies are also very important. Research on ergonomic applications and evaluation techniques for products using these technologies is essential for the application of technologies that are user-friendly and have maximized usability and utility. In addition, with the development of various sensor technologies, it has become easier to collect information for health care or data on various characteristics of the body. However, in order to effectively utilize application services or healthcare using this, it is also necessary to develop techniques to identify and predict the characteristics of health and body using these data. The goal of this Special Issue is to contribute to the effective product development and technology application of these state-of-the-art technologies by utilizing various ergonomic methodologies.
We are seeking theoretical, methodological, empirical, case, field, and multidisciplinary studies on different aspects of ergonomic R&D that include, but are not limited to:
- Ergonomic optimization for a variety of new technologies;
- Product design and evaluation methods for the application of various new technologies;
- Usability evaluation of product concepts with new technology without physical substance;
- Ergonomic application of new technologies and bio-signal data for health care.
