What do we mean by Ergonomics?
What do we mean by Ergonomics?
Ergonomics is simply the science of designing things to fit people comfortably and safely. It's about making sure that products and environments are easy to use and avoid causing discomfort or injury.
When designing an ergonomic product, think about these key points:
User comfort: Make sure the product feels good to use and doesn't cause strain or pain.
Efficiency: Design the product to be easy to use and avoid unnecessary movements.
Safety: Consider potential hazards and design the product to minimize risks.
Here are some examples of ergonomic features:
Here are some examples of ergonomic features:
Adjustable height: Allow users to customize the product to fit their body size and posture.
Cushioned surfaces: Provide comfort and reduce pressure points.
Intuitive controls: Make it easy for users to understand and operate the product.
Non-slip grips: Help prevent accidental drops or slips.

What is Anthropometric data?
What is Anthropometric data?
Anthropometric data is simply measurements of the human body. It includes things like height, weight, arm length, hand size, and other physical dimensions. This data is used to design products that fit people comfortably and safely. For example, when designing a chair, knowing the average height and leg length of people can help ensure it's the right size and shape for most users.
What is a Brainpad AR-1?
What is a Brainpad AR-1?
To make your gaming device function, you are going to use a Brainpad AR-1...
A BrainPad AR-1 is a small, handheld computer designed for learning to code. It's often referred to as the BrainPad Arcade because its main purpose is to help people, especially students, create and play their own video games.
In simple terms, it is a starter kit that includes everything you need to begin programming. It comes with a screen, buttons, a speaker, and a microcontroller (the "brain" of the device) that you can program using a computer. It is designed to be a fun and accessible way to learn about electronics and coding, using popular programming environments like Microsoft MakeCode to build simple games and other projects.
You will do the programming during your computing lessons.
In D&T we will focus on designing the shape.
You will be learning all about coding through your computing lessons and will design the code for your game there.
During D&T lessons you will design and manufacture the casing that allows a user to interact with the game.
You must have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve and be able to communicate that with your computing teacher as well as your D&T teacher; as well as being clear in your own mind about what you are trying to achieve.
Lesson Task
Lesson Task
You need to create a poster presentation all about the project. This should include theme ideas, Ergonomics and information about the Brainpad AR-1 to help you with your design and development work later. You should use procreate to do this work.
To help you get started, look at and include information about Ergonomics and the Brainpad AR-1 chip; you could include information about some of these topics: Materials, theme ideas, technology, existing products, restrictions, Anthropometrics.
