Abstract

Modern technology advances airplane seat design with better ergonomics and new HCI (human-computer interaction). However, airline companies are not motivated to replace the seat system due to the cost consideration. Hence, a series of re-optimized design in ergonomics and HCI should be carried out by designers. This paper describes a novel intelligent seat’s system, which is designed to be used for the airplanes or similar conditions. This system consists of redesigned ergonomics and HCI compared with original seat’s systems. The mainly redesigned parts are the aesthetics and visual modeling for people to receive visual information, the ergonomics part for people to receive tactile information, new users’ action innovation for people to receive and output information, the redesign of the structure of the system with low weight and cost, and the functional system environment for people to receive information from humans through movement in multiple environments. Structural analysis supports the redesign. The purpose of the redesign is to improve the HCI system with new tech and interaction.

Summary

Introduction

The re-design of airline seats’ systems for improved ergonomics and human–computer interaction will be described in this article. Airline companies haven’t improved seat systems for 7–10 years because the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the head injury criterion (HIC) is quite costly, and the complexity requires a long time to conduct the test. The new design of seat systems for aircraft use, or for any other tech seat systems, have the following requirements: comfort, passenger’s space optimization, and IFE (In Flight Entertainment). The following research areas are highlighted in this paper: Aesthetics, Ergonomics, Innovation, Functionality, Weight, and Interaction. Structural and design methodology analysis will be conducted for the seating ergonomics, and the test of the design content will be demonstrated. Weight, and cost: reception of information from humans through movement in a single environment From all of these aspects, the users’ needs can be more accurately understood, and a reasonable design scheme can be developed for the final product.
