Evolution of Science and Technology has been making human lives easier on day to day basis. Ergonomics is basically a study on how the arrangement should be made or how a design should be developed in a way that the interaction between the user and the system is efficient and it has easy usability. The Importance of Ergonomics is immense in light of the product development process.
In this blog, I am going to talk about two very simple bad and good ergonomic examples respectively.
Good one:
Automatic Door is a very simple but good example of ergonomic design. It is very user friendly and the benefits are countless. It opens automatically by sensing the approach of any person, there is no possibility of these doors being left open solving the issue of keeping out the cold, wind and rain. These are also very helpful for everyone including an elderly or person in a wheelchair/driving a mobility scooter.
Bad one:
Pedestrian Countdowns which are supposed to reduce accidents are in fact increasing it to some extent. One of the big reasons is motorists who see there is a little amount of time to cross the intersection and speed up.
