The Benefit of Strategic Prototyping for Human-Factors Engineering
Design of goods and systems that are efficient, safe, and user-friendly depends critically on human-factors engineering (HFE). Strategic prototyping—the intentional development and testing of prototypes to assess human interaction with a system—is among the most successful techniques available in HFE. Strategic prototyping involves methodically evaluating usability, functionality, and ergonomics to hone the final design, not just about producing an early prototype of a product. The main advantages of strategic prototyping in human-factors engineering will be discussed in this article, along with how it improves user experience, lowers costs, and guarantees regulatory Compliance. 1.Enhancing User Experience and Usability HFE's main [...]
