And in this updated and expanded version of the original landmark work, you'll find the research information necessary to create designs that better accommodate human need. Featuring more than 200 anthropometric drawings, this handbook is filled with all of the essential measurements of the human body and its relationship to the designed environment. You'll also discover guidelines for designing for children and the elderly, for the digital workplace, and for ADA compliance. Measurements are in both English and metric units.\"The Measure of Man and Woman\" ist eine aktualisierte und erweiterte Ausgabe des 1959 erschienenen Klassikers \"Human Factors. Diese Neuauflage vereint eine Fülle wichtiger Informationen, die Designern bei der Gestaltung von Produkten und Umgebungen helfen, die Bedürfnisse der Benutzer besser zu berücksichtigen. Um einen größtmöglichen Produkterfolg zu erzielen, ist es wichtig, dass Designer die verschiedenen Körperformen und physischen Fähigkeiten der Zielgruppen, die sie mit ihrem Produkt ansprechen wollen, kennen und verstehen. Daher sind Untersuchungen über die unterschiedliche körperliche Beschaffenheit von Menschen unerlässlich für das Design von Produkten wie z.B. Küchen oder Gaspedalen in Autos. \"The Measure of Man and Woman\" ist ein klassisches Nachschlagewerk, das von einem angesehen Designunternehmen verfasst wurde. Es bietet über 200 zweifarbige anthropometrische Zeichnungen, enthält eine Übersicht zu englischen und metrischen Messeinheiten sowie Richtlinien für das Design von Produkten und Umgebungen für Kinder und ältere Menschen. Darüber hinaus werden auch die besonderen Anforderungen des digitalen Arbeitsplatzes angesprochen.
