After reading the texts about UCSD and ergonomics, I have come to the conclusion that UCSD is in fact everywhere, even where we do not think about it. It is a major part of our life that makes our lives a hell of a lot easier. Not only is it found almost everywhere on the internet, it is a part of how the entire world functions. How should we design this X? The first question that a manufacturer should ask is ”how would a customer/user want this product?”. You always have to focus on the user. Also, while designing products it is important to constantly be able to shift your focus depending on what users need - and a prototype might have to change several times before the final product is released, because there might be several improvements to be made depending on what the user needs. By constantly evaluating what you are designing, you are far more likely to have a product that is superior to your original idea.
By specifying what you want, it is far easier to strive towards that goal. And during the design process, you need to update your specifications to accommodate for new ideas! And by constantly measuring how close to your goals you are (by measuring efficiency, goals, satisfaction) by using groups that try your products and measure these things, it is easier to understand which way your product has to take in order to succeed.
Reading this literature I started wondering how we are to design our future product. How can we alter our product during the course in order to reach the (close to) perfect design?
A question about the texts: There are several ways to customize a product in order for it to satisfy user centered designs, but sometimes you have to focus more on some design aspects resulting in that other aspects are ”left behind” and not focused on as much. How do you know which aspects to focus on, in order to have the perfect product?
