This study reports on a social project involving a collaborative process to co-create toys together with hospitalized children, using Virtual Reality, play practices and 3D Printing technologies. The project had two main phases: the co-creative process with the children and the production of prototypes based on the children's creative drawings. For the activities involving the children, static virtual reality environments were created to stimulate the children to draw. These drawings were used as reference for the design of 3D toys that then were printed in plastic. A positive effect of the experience on the children's behaviour was observed during the hospital routine procedures. Despite the technology required and considerably high cost for producing custom pieces with 3D printing, the project was executed successfully. This initiative shows the potential for practical interdisciplinary collaboration approaches between product design and health sciences.

Design, Ergonomia de transporte, Conforto O presente artigo analisa a influência do design na percepção de conforto em pilotos do veículo de competição BAJA SAE. Os resultados indicam que diferenças nos designs de dois modelos, afetaram o espaço livre de manuseio dos controles, a postura, e consequentemente a sensação de conforto. O artigo encerra recomendando ajustes para um design mais ergonômico.

RESUMOO presente estudo é parte de um projeto integrando ergonomia ao projeto Baja SAE. Um dos objetivos foi analisar o desconforto percebido pelos pilotos ao conduzir dois veículos, o Baja Antigo (BA) -modelo 2013 -e o Baja Novo (BN) -modelo 2015. Em média os pilotos sentiram maior desconforto após conduzirem o BN, sendo as regiões das costas as que sofreram maior impacto. As repostas dadas pelos pilotos foram contrastadas com os ângulos posturais, sendo aqueles que mais diferem dos ângulos de conforto sugeridos pela literatura, os correspondentes às regiões corporais com maior incômodo ou dor. ABSTRACT The present study is part of an ergonomics research project involving the Baja SAE project. One of the objectives of the study was to analyse the body areas of discomfort among pilots of the old Baja (BA) -used in competitions in
