Preface
This volume combines the proceedings of four affiliated conferences of the 2020
Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics Conference: the 11th International
Conference on Usability & User Experience, the 4th International Conference on
Human Factors and Wearable Technologies, the 4th International Conference on
HumanFactorsinVirtualEnvironmentsandGameDesignandthe3rdInternational
Conference on Human Factors and Assistive Technology.
The conference on usability & user experience focuses on strategies for
achieving successful interaction with products, tools and technologies. Usable
designs are able to accommodate the needs of potential users without requiring
costly training. In this context, this book is concerned with emerging ergonomics
conceptsin thedesign ofproducts andsystems, andwiththeories andapplications
of human factor knowledge for understanding human–system interaction, identi-
fyingkeyusabilityissuesandeventuallyimprovingthecorrespondingproductsand
systems.
The conferences on assistive and wearable technologies focus on the examina-
tion of problems in designing and providing assistive devices and services to
individuals with disabilities or impairment, to assist mobility, communication,
positioning,environmental control anddailyliving. Thus,this bookalsoaddresses
awidespectrumoftheoreticalandpracticaltopicsrelatedtoassistiveandwearable
technologies. By combining practical experience and academic research, it dis-
cusses solutions for adapting to machinery and wearables, and increasing the
technology acceptance, effectiveness and efficiency.
The conference on human factors in virtual environments and game design
focuses on game industry, which has been rapidly expanding in the past decades.
The level of complexity in game control interfaces and graphics has increased
exponentially,inadditiontothegrowinginterestinintegratingaugmentedrealityin
gaming experience. As a result, there is a growing demand for human factors and
ergonomics practitioners to improve the users’ engagement in game design.
A variety of game designs, applications and study on their usability, as well as on
users’engagement,havebeengatheredtogetherinthisbook.Thisbookshowshow

viii Preface
user-centered practices can optimize user experience, thus improving user accep-
tance, satisfaction and engagement toward novel products and systems.
It addresses professionals, researchers and students in the broad field of human
factorsandergonomics,who areespecially interestedinuser-centereddesign,user
experience and accessibility of human–machine interfaces, usability and accessi-
bility of wearable technologies, game design as well as advanced applications of
virtual, augmented and mixed realities.
This book is organized into nine sections that focus on the following subject
matters:
Usability and User Experience
Section 1 User Interface and Accessibility
Section 2 Usability Evaluation and Interface Design
Section 3 Usability and User-Centered Design
Section 4 User Experience and Human–machine Interaction
Section 5 Usability and User Experience Applications
Human Factors and Wearable Technologies
Section 6 Wearable Technologies
Game Design
Section 7 Human Factors in Game Design
Section 8 Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Realities Applications
Assistive Technology
Section 9 Human Factors and Assistive Technology
