Background: History of Human Factors EARLY DAYS … LATER … NOW … UNDERSTANDING COMPLEXITY PERVASIVE HUMAN FACTORS
Modern Human Factors Understands That … PEOPLE USE TECHNOLOGY … TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR GOALS … IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT.
Successful Products Human Factors And Product Design How a product connects with the user – 3 KEY FOCAL POINTS. USEFUL • Meets recognized needs • Supports goals & objectives • Improves the outcome • Enhances performance or efficiency • etc...

SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTS connect on all levels – they are USEFUL, USABLE, & DESIRABLE
Hierarchy of User Needs (from Bonapace, 2002) Example … pleasure usability functionality safety and well-being A Framework for Understanding HF Now
‘Foundational’ Human Factors: Focus on Useful and Usable “Usability” : the extent to which a product can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction in a specified context of use. (ISO 9241-11) For Example:
pleasure usability functionality safety and well-being Towards the ‘New’ Human Factors: Adding ‘Desirable’ For Example: • “Break out of the ‘sea of white’” • Provide a ‘useful’ and ‘usable’ product. • Meet / exceed consumer needs.
