Ergonomics ñ Real Design

Ergonomics, which uses the knowledge of human performance in conjunction with design and engineering to create systems, products and services which are safe, efficient and enjoyable to use, is the subject of this exhibition at the Design Museum. The show reveals the thought processes behind the science of ergonomics, exploring the theory, principles and methods used to create objects as diverse as tape measures and complex transport systems. How we interact with products and the relationship between man and machine is illustrated through exhibits including the Sky TV remote and pieces created for the control room at the headquarters of CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear Research) in Geneva.
