Abstract

The aim of inclusive product design is to successfully integrate human factors in the product development process with the intention of making products accessible for the largest possible group of users. In order to meet the challenge of inclusive product design, the involvement of human users in all phases of the development process has so far been an efficient approach. Yet, such ergonomics evaluation experiments that employ a versatility of user groups are not only complex, but can be very time and cost-intensive. Therefore, virtual user models (VUM) have been proposed for supporting certain phases of the product development process.
