Implementation of augmented reality (AR) devices in production floors is becoming increasingly popular for its creative potential in facilitating training and development. From a human factors perspective, there is thus a need to further examine the usability issues and design guidelines of these emerging augmented reality technologies especially with regard to various manufacturing industries. Such assessment efforts will serve to ensure that the fit between human and machine allows for user self-actualization and a safe and productive work environment. Despite the widespread interest in augmented reality, there is no clear set of principles yet established. Many usability models are based on traditional desktop-based computer applications which means unique augmented reality characters are overlooked including the physical ergonomics, expanded field of view, and device mobility features. Here, we review the fit of user-centered usability models to propose a set of criteria to serve as a guideline to implement augmented reality technologies efficiently in the production environment.

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar o conhecimento dos professores que atuam no cenário de prática profissional da segunda série dos cursos de medicina e enfermagem sobre os princípios da ergonomia física. O trabalho foi realizado em uma instituição de ensino localizada no interior do estado de São Paulo, no ano de 2014. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, transversal com abordagem qualitativa. Os dados foram coletados por entrevista semiestruturada e analisados de acordo com a técnica de Análise de Conteúdo na Modalidade Temática. A análise dos depoimentos permitiu a identificação de três temáticas: “Ergonomia: entre a construção de um conceito e a utilização na prática”; “Distúrbios osteomusculares em trabalhadores da saúde: prevenir ou remediar?”; “Vislumbrando os princípios da ergonomia nos cursos de graduação da área da saúde”. Conclui-se que o conhecimento dos professores sobre o tema ergonomia é limitado, geralmente associado à postura e posições. Os entrevistados estabeleceram uma relação entre as atividades desenvolvidas por médicos e enfermeiros com a sobrecarga osteomuscular e reforçam a necessidade de medidas preventivas. Reconheceram que o ambiente acadêmico é um campo para a incorporação do tema ergonomia à prática profissional e que o professor possui um importante papel neste processo.

The Finite Element Model

This paper, aimed at the problems of high-speed train seat design standards that lack biomechanical analysis, analyzed the lumbar force of sitting position and verified the validity of the finite element model of human lumbar L1–L5 that had been built by reverse engineering technology. Based on the lumbar force distribution, the methods of exterior penalty and moving least square were adopted to establish a high-speed train seat equation that caters for physical ergonomics and a new high-speed train seat model was designed so as to improve the comfort for passengers.
