This text is based on a summary presentation given by Lina Bonapace at the closing session of the triennial IEA World Congress 2006. It deals with product design and its potential links to ergonomics, although these links are not as yet very well developed. The paper provides the fundamentals of product design and product ergonomics to help form a basis for co-operation. It then considers the possible contributions of a renewed form of ergonomics – including cultural factors, diversity, enjoyment – as well as the challenges to be met – globalization, safety and pluridisciplinarity; all culminating to form a complex and interesting field. |
