    Abstract : Reduced independent mobility of blind and low-vision individuals (BLVIs) cause considerable societal cost, burden on relatives, and reduced quality of life for the individuals, including increased anxiety, depression symptoms, need of assistance, risk of falls, and mortality. Despite the numerous electronic travel aids proposed since at least the 1940’s, along with ever-advancing technology, the mobility issues persist. READ MORE

  4. 7. Visual demand in manual task performance - Towards a virtual evaluation

    Author : Tania Dukic; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; working posture; computer manikin software; motion; visual demand;

    Abstract : Visual information is crucial for carrying out motor activities. However, knowledgeabout the effects of visual demand on the performance of manual tasks is not welldocumented. Visual determinants must be identified in order to be used in visualisationand simulation tools (e.g. READ MORE

  5. 8. Computer Manikins in Evaluation of Manual Assembly Tasks

    Author : Dan Lämkull; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; computer manikin software; virtual ergonomics; manikin appearance; digital human modelling; ergonomics evaluation; posture wizard; working posture;

    Abstract : Digital human modelling (DHM) tools have been introduced in industry to facilitate a faster and more cost efficient design process. The research in this thesis is directed towards the DHM-tool-users’ needs and the objective is to identify difficulties and shortcomings, and identify requirements for improving the output of DHM-simulations.

  6. 9. Distributed Participatory Design in Multidisciplinary Engineering Projects: Investigating a Sustainable Approach for Ship Design & Construction

    Author : Steven Mallam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; User-Centred Design; Naval Architecture; Ergonomics; Built Environment; Maritime; Industrial Design; Knowledge Transfer; Technology Acceptance;

    Abstract : Naval architecture design procedures focus primarily on the technical aspects of engineering specifications, mission requirements and overall survivability of ships and marine structures. In contrast, often little attention or importance is placed on the operational demands of onboard crew and the detailed design characteristics of a ship’s work environment. READ MORE

  7. 10. Communication space : Spatial design in manufacturing industry

    Author : Jennie Andersson Schaeffer; Yvonne Eriksson; Gabriela Goldschmidt; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Visual communication; visual management; spatial design; manufacturing industry; improvement process; Visuell kommunikation; visuelll styrning; rumslig gestalting; tillverkningsindustri; Architecture; Arkitektur; Aesthetics; Estetik; Human communication; Kommunikation mellan människor; Manufacturing engineering and work sciences; Produktion och arbetsvetenskap; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

    Abstract : The main concern of this licentiate thesis is to discuss how built space is used for communication in the manufacturing industry, from a visual communication perspective. The thesis presents and develops the notion of 'communication space' and presents a model to describe the relation between different factors in the communication space. READ MORE
