User-Centered Assessment Design

Successful interaction with products, tools, and technologies depends on usable, human-centered design that accommodates the needs of diverse users without requiring extensive training. This book explores emerging ergonomics in design, presenting key concepts, theories, and applications of human factors knowledge focused on understanding and improving human interaction with products and systems. Emphasizing usability, interface feedback (visual and haptic), and user-centered design, the book bridges research and practice to support the creation of effective, inclusive solutions. Of particular relevance to design for special populations—especially older adults—it serves as a valuable and thought-provoking resource for professionals, researchers, and students interested in human modeling, performance, and ergonomics in modern design.
