In order to improve work safety, the impact of different artefacts for visually communicating safety aspects is explored. Posters, short animated movies, a longer documentary movie, and a game-like interactive training environment prototype were explored with interviews and questionnaires. The documentary movie showed the best effect for increasing risk awareness and motivation for applying safety routines. Results also revealed a discrepancy between knowing the safety routines and actually applying them. A conclusion is that visual communication improves learning and increases motivation to follow safety routines.

The first hypothesis explains the origin of the mobilizations as reactions to the gravity of the situations faced by university or as a byproduct of structural change sectors, but omits the role of the subjects in this process. The second poses a dichotomy between the social and the political to explain the dynamics of movement, but reduces the understanding of a complex phenomenon. The third hypothesis explains the failure of the student mobilizations by internal divisions result of the politicization of students and isolation from society, losing sight of other variables to explain the success and failure of social movements.

A single display solution in combination with a haptic rotary device has the potential to reduce the clutter of buttons. With well-designed haptic information (i.e., cues that could be explored by touch), drivers should be able to find and select functions without taking their eyes off the road. However, when this thesis work started, few studies focused on the effects of adding haptic information to secondary tasks in cars. Clearly, research is needed that examines how adding more information to secondary tasks supports or distracts drivers. This thesis investigates haptic perception, attention, and effects on secondary tasks and driving performance for an interaction menu selection interface controlled by an in-vehicle haptic rotary device. The research questions addressed how and why performance would be affected by added haptic in...

In some cars the functions are merged into a single display solution controlled by a haptic rotary device. A haptic rotary device can communicate haptic information, i.e., cues that could be explored by touch. The effects of adding haptic information to secondary tasks in cars was investigated in this book. It could be concluded that a multimodal approach providing visual-haptic information was preferable to an interface solution with either visual or haptic information. An addition of haptic information could increase task performance, add clarity, and reduce attention, at least visual, off the road. However, haptic information could also pass unnoticed and more complex haptic additions could confuse the driver. One of the goals with this book was to provide the industry with information that could be used to develop more usable and safer in-vehicle in...

She analyses the main motives of creators of Snoezelen, to expose the influence of their attitudes towards an importance of basic human rights of people with every disability level on contemporary popularity and usefulness of Snoezelen for variety of recipients. She then examines the meaning of each of the main principles of Snoezelen Room, to hightlight a connection between Snoezelen and the development of independence and self-esteem of its users. The conclusion of this analysis, as well as a personal experience of the author in using the Snoezelen method, allowed to frame an idea of the process of gaining individual autonomy in the environment of Snoezelen Room.

Various multifunctional systems operated by haptic rotary switches, touch screen, and voice control have been developed. A usability study of multifunctional systems available on the market was carried out to evaluate and compare different manual interaction principles. The systems used in the study were the BMW iDrive and the Audi MMI, both operated by a rotary switch, and the Jaguar touch screen interface. Firstly, a usability test was conducted where two naive and two trained participants tested each system during driving. Ten tasks, comprising CD, radio and navigation were solved by the participants. Secondly, six evaluators carried out a usability inspection, heuristic evaluation, to find possible problems in the systems. The results from the usability test indicated that the naive users interacted more rapidly with the touch screen interfa...

Though, greater variations can make gear shifters inefficient and error prone. Research regarding these aspects is still lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate how different gear shifter concepts were perceived in terms of Perceived Ease-of-Use and Task success, depending on their level of complexity, the shape of the shifter and stability of the shifter pattern. An experimental study was conducted with participants using six types of gear shifters on three levels of complexity. Results showed that the Monostable joystick received the lowest Perceived Ease-of-Use scores. Furthermore, the Rotary Toggle shifter with monostable function, had lowest Task success, which was supposed to be a result of e.g. unfamiliar design.

Haptic interfaces are a realistic approach to improving HMI. However, to what extent haptic interfaces can replace visual interfaces still remains an unresolved issue. The purpose of the study reported in this paper was to measure task completion time, error rate, and workload in an easy menu selection task for three different types of interface providing: haptic information, graphic information, or combined haptic and graphic information. The haptic interface used was a rotary device that could be turned and pushed. The results suggest that the combined haptic and graphic interface was preferable to the graphic interface regarding accuracy, i.e. fewer turn errors, while both interfaces were fundamentally equal concerning completion time. The workload results indicated that the combined haptic and graphic interface was less mentally demanding than either the graphic or the haptic interface....
