Ergonomics Design Issues: Innovation and Ethics

Abstract

Ergonomics has extended its application to look into Issues of universality and value-added design development. Design is an
innovative, practical, reproducible problem-solving process that converts ideas into reality, keeping in mind the user’s characteristics
and limitations, aesthetic perception, material and process, and new technology to conceive various aids to human needs. Pleasure
beyond functionality is an immerging issue; design features are not only to divulge ease of use and safety but the pleasure of use and
enjoyment of the experience. Emphasis must be on trustworthy-look and feel for functional reliability. The innovation aims at newness.
Users’ acceptance of a design depends on how it matches the perception of need with the product features. If it could provide a mental
image of total trust embedded in its appearance, were not only the functional reliability, several humane issues play respective roles.
Inclusiveness elements implanted in a design widen the users’ acceptance of varied requirements and confirm the benefit of proper
utilization of context-specific user information while conceiving design ideas. It has become an integral part of the ergonomic design
process. This deliberation focuses on applying ergonomics in design to support productive living, health, and well-being and creating
context-specific user-friendly living environments.
