Ergonomics and Anthropometrics

Anthropometrics ‘the study of human physical dimensions’ ‘anthrops means men and metrics means measurements’ For many products complex data is required about any number of critical dimensions relating to the human form, such as height, weight, width, length of reach.

Ergonomics ‘the science of designing products for human use. Ergonomics uses and applies anthropometric data to ensure that products and environments are straightforward, safe and comfortable to use’ ‘concerns the interaction between the human body and products, systems or environments’

Anthropometrics For example the design of a personal stereo would look at data concerning hand sizes.

Data No average person If you design a product suitable for use between the 5th and 95th percentile then it will not be suitable for 10% of people. Anthropometric data are only specific to the populations which they describe

Ergonomics The layout of a kitchen to make it more efficient. The interior of a car to ensure comfort to the user.

Good aesthetics can mask bad design!

The problem is that it is difficult to tell which control goes with which burner. The solution is to arrange the controls in the same configuration as the burners. It is quite easy to tell which burner goes with which control. Why do you think all stove tops layouts aren't designed like this one?

Definition Ergonomics – making products easy and comfortable to use Anthropometrics – measurements of the human body

Questions 1. Sally has designed a brochure for her school open day. She wants her design to be ergonomic. a. what is an ergonomic design? b. suggest two things she should think about to make her brochure ergonomic 2. a. What is anthropometric data? b. suggest what anthropometric data would be needed to make a face mask for a childs birthday party.

Answers 1. a. An ergonomic design is easy and comfortable to use. b. making the lettering clear and easy to read, what colours will make it easy to read and stand out, making it a suitable size 2.a. Human measurements b. distance between eyes, position of eyes/nose/mouth, head circumference
