Usability, also known as Ease of use – Capacity of a system for its users to perform tasks; Business performance management – Processes to bring output into alignment with goals; Productivity – Average measure of the efficiency of production; Safety – State of being secure from harm, injury, danger, or other non-desirable outcomes
Interaction design borrows from a wide range of fields like psychology, human-computer interaction, information architecture, and user research to create designs that are tailored to the needs and preferences of users. This involves understanding the context in which the product will be used, identifying user goals and behaviors, and developing ...
Human machine system engineering is different from the more general and well known fields like human–computer interaction and sociotechnical engineering in that it focuses on complex, dynamic control systems that often are partially automated (such as flying an airplane). It also studies human problem-solving in naturalistic settings or in ...
A computer monitor provides a visual interface between the machine and the user. Human–computer interaction (HCI) is research in the design and the use of computer technology, which focuses on the interfaces between people and computers. HCI researchers observe the ways humans interact with computers and design technologies that allow humans ...
A headquarters building design for Boston television and radio station WGBH by Polshek Partnership has been discussed as an example of digital architecture and includes a digital skin. [1] Within social media research, digital architecture refers to the technical protocols that enable, constrain, and shape user behavior in a virtual space. [2]
Computer-aided ergonomics is an engineering discipline using computers to solve complex ergonomic problems involving interaction between the human body and its environment. The human body holds a great complexity thus it can be beneficial to use computers to solve problems involving the human body and the environment that surrounds it.
The field of ergonomics is based on scientific studies of ordinary people in work situations and is applied to the design of processes and machines, to the layout of work places, to methods of work, and to the control of the physical environment, in order to achieve greater efficiency of both men and machines [7] An example of an ergonomics ...
Social information architecture, also known as social iA, [citation needed] is a sub-domain of information architecture which deals with the social aspects of conceptualizing, modeling and organizing information. It has become more relevant because of the rise of social media and Web 2.0 in recent times. [1]
