| Summary |
This work provides an understanding of the human factors issues encountered in the design, implementation, and evaluation of products and systems. Emphasizing the close relationship between basic theory and application, the authors offer a framework for the research process. Recently, there have been a number of advances in technology, including in mobile devices, globalization of companies, display technologies and healthcare, all of which require significant input and evaluation from human factors specialists. Accordingly, this textbook has been completely updated, with some chapters folded into other chapters and new chapters added where needed. The text continues to fill the need for a textbook that bridges the gap between the conceptual and empirical foundations of the field |
