Professional Ergonomics Groups
- Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors
- 香港人类工效学学会
- International Ergonomics Association (IEA)
- Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. There are some website errors, so the management of this group could be a chaos.
Ergonomics Websites
This website is about human factors.
There is much information about various kinds of human factor fields in this site.
However, this web page itself is not ergonomic nor elegant.
Fractions and pieces of text are everywhere, and distributed in a chaos manner.
It is just a disaster for readers.
A website about how to design hand held devices in a ergonomic way.
This site is generally about physical factors of ergonomics， mostly statistical data of human body parts.
Valuable data about human touch sensing. The methodology and way of reporting are both worth learning.
