Abstract
A valid, easy-to-use and affordable ergonomics tool can help the product designer in accelerating the design process, especially in the early stage of design. In this paper, a digital human model (DHM) prototype is proposed and verified with product designer-oriented features. Starting with a literature and field study, the research focused on identifying problems and exploring the needs of the product designers in using DHMs. Based on this information, a list of requirements is proposed as the guidelines in developing a designer-oriented DHM. Using the action research method, a DHM prototype was developed, tested and reflected upon by using a pilot experiment, followed by a new iteration where a large scale test was deployed. Experiments results prove the accuracy and the basic functionalities, especially the easy-to-use features of the DHM. They also indicate problems and wishes regarding the interfaces, the efficiency of the algorithms, the compatibility and the advanced functionality.
