“…Such feedback mechanisms would enable agencies to provide appropriate care services and improve service effectiveness while minimizing costs. In addition, from the seniors’ ergonomics perspective, medical equipment should set feedback devices to provide step‐by‐step guidelines with messages, visual icons, and voice for reminding seniors (Chabukswar, Gramopadhye, Melloy, & Grimes, ; Kuo & Wang, ; Na, ; Park, ). This would allow seniors to correctly use medical equipment and avoid operational errors and hazards.…”

Most of the research on the concept of “ageing‐in‐place” has focused on surveys of the needs of senior citizens and/or the quality of the services delivered to them. Service innovation for ageing‐in‐place has received little research attention, however. The present study addresses this issue by proposing a service innovation model for ageing‐in‐place. In this model, a TRIZ methodology is used to develop the parameter correspondence table, which integrates TRIZ contradiction parameters and ageing‐in‐place service‐quality determinants, to deal with service contradiction. A TRIZ contradiction matrix is then applied to generate inventive solutions for the innovation of the ageing‐in‐place service system. A case study is also conducted to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model.

“…Virtual prototyping has been introduced as a new alternative that aims to overcome the aforementioned challenges by simulating design elements with a certain degree of realism comparable to a physical prototype (Haug et al, 1997;Kuo & Wang, 2007). It employs a digital model or virtual prototype for testing, analyzing, and evaluating a product without actually making a physical prototype (Bordegoni et al, 2006;Choi & Chan, 2004;Choi & Cheung, 2005).…”

This study aims to develop an effective and efficient method of analyzing user impressions of a product using virtual prototyping. A method to analyze the relationship between user impressions and design elements of a product using virtual prototyping was proposed, and then the method was applied to the case study of automobile interior design. Thirty-two participants in the experiment evaluated 32 different virtual prototypes of automobile interiors generated from the combination of 17 design elements. The results of the case study showed that user impressions can be well explained by design elements. Physically large design elements, such as the shapes of frontal area, center fascia, door trim, and steering wheel, were critical areas of automobile interior design. The proposed method is expected to be an effective and efficient alternative for industrial practitioners to analyze user impressions of design alternatives at the early stage of the design process.

“…Using DHs provides an efficient solution for preliminary ergonomic evaluation. However, the reliability of the results are not comparable with those obtained in a real context [4], since sometimes it is not simple to extend the data, collected with DHs software, to the real conditions. For this reason, the trend is to carry out these kinds of evaluations with users by using physical prototypes that simulates the real functioning of the cockpit [5].…”

Virtual Reality techniques are more and more used to validate the design hypotheses during different phases of the product development. In the automotive field, however, there are some types of analyses that are unlikely to be performed by using only a Virtual Prototype (VP) of the vehicle. Therefore, the trend is to develop systems -called seating bucks- that enable engineers to integrate virtual and real objects to provide a tangible interface for the VP of the vehicle. This research aims at defining a new system and an evaluation protocol to improve, simplify and speed up the usual activities carried out for the ergonomic assessment of the driver's seat. In particular, we are interested in evaluating the ergonomics of car's dashboard with its knobs, buttons, display and other control systems. In this paper, we have described the development of this system by providing useful information about the physical issues, related to the seating buck structure, and about the development of the MR environment. The system and the evaluation protocol have been validated by performing several testing sessions with users. The tests confirm the effectiveness of our approach and have enabled us to achieve at interesting considerations.
