Simulating future work activity is not only a way of improving workstation design

Ergonomic simulations may be classified according to the role that they assign to the future users, which may either be modelled in technical tools, subjects of controlled experiments, or participants in a participatory process. In the latter case, simulations may produce more than technical improve...

Description
Summary:Ergonomic simulations may be classified according to the role that they assign to the future users, which may either be modelled in technical tools, subjects of controlled experiments, or participants in a participatory process. In the latter case, simulations may produce more than technical improvements. They may result in new developments of individual and collective activity.
