Human Factors
Hearing
The ear is not often used in information perception, except in communication through speech.
Nevertheless, if the eyes are overtaxed in a particular task it may sometimes be possible to relay
on the ears instead.
Sound should be reserved for warning signal.
Task is easier if a bell or buzzer sounds when the limit is exceeded.
The signal must be clearly distinguishable from background noises, as is the case, for example,
with sirens on fire engines and police cars. The signal must be regularly interrupted where there
is continuous background noise.

The light intensity (amount of light which falls on the work surface)

Luminance (contrast). Light intensity is expressed in lux, and luminance (brightness) in

candela per m2 (cd m-2).

Orientation lighting, Normal working lighting and Special lighting.

-Light intensity of 10-200 lux for orientation tasks:

*10-200 lux is sufficient where the visual aspect is not critical, e.g; in the corridor of
public building, provided no reading is required. Minimum required intensity to detect
obstacles is 10lux.

Higher intensity may be necessary for reading notice board and the like, or prevent
excessive differences in brightness between adjoining areas (such as driving into
tunnel). Adjustment of the eye can take a fairly long time if the differences in
brightness are large.

-Light intensity of 200-800 lux for normal activities:

*Reading normal print, operating machines and carrying out assembly tasks can be
considered normal visual task.

-Light intensity of 800-3000 lux for special application:

*It is sometimes necessary to use localized task lighting. This can compensate for
shadows or reflections on the work surface. For special activities such as visual
inspection task, much higher illumination levels are used to enable fine details to be
distinguished.

Luminance ratio greater than 10 are considered excessive.

Human Factors

The Relationship
(Sponsors)

Contact with others must form a component of a job(treatment);

*by helping one another

*by discussing the work (treatment)

*by talking of things other than work

The treatment can be made more interesting by widening the diversity of contact or
extending the time spent making these contacts.

through meta-analysis from measuring

wrists (15 subjects) I have come to the
conclusion that the 6cm (Male) and
5.5cm (female) is the size that best suits
the design.

Desirability

Physical:
Relating to the body or sensory organs:

I Focus on the filing of the device, so I conducted fitting trials, traying to

avoid the meaning of the device( realated with the addiction) and
taking it into a desirable and fashionable wristband.
Fitting trial (Type of psychophysical experiment):
Through my fitting trial, tested by 15 subject, using 3 different matirials:

-Leather
9

-PVC

-Silicon

Psychological:
How products make us feel:

It provided a gateway to technology and rehab through hiding the

technology from the users and making it a fashionable complement.
It gave the user a feeling of confidence and control, escaping of the
past status of misbehaviour, disorder and decontrol.
