ErgoScenes Welcome to our web-based training (WBT) on the ergonomic design of work systems. Here, you can practice the evaluation of work systems, by analyzing different scenarios, which are presented as three-dimensional, interactive virtual environments. Your task is to identify the ergonomic design deficiencies hidden in the 3D-scenarios.

There are five different 3D-scenarios, addressing the design of computer workstations and drivers' workplaces of utility vehicles. So far, these scenarios have been accessed 4290 times.

ErgoScenes is part of an online research project. For methodological reasons, on your first visit you need to register, giving you immediate access to the application. On subsequent visits you just enter your user name and password to log in.

  • Concept: simulate common procedure of evaluating a workplace (computer-mediated learning by doing).
  • Realization: 3D-scenarios, allowing to navigate, interact, and measure the spatial arrangement by means of a 'virtual yardstick'.
  • Assistance: set of criteria for an ergonomic design, which guide you through the evaluation procedure; detailed results history to monitor your learning progress.

Here, we investigate the potential of virtual reality for disseminating knowledge about the ergonomic design of work systems. For this purpose, we track the user interactions. All data is treated in an anonymized and aggregate form and used exclusively for scientific purposes. For our online research, we need the following information, in addition:
General personal data
(allow to differentiate various user groups)
Gender:    Male   Female
Age:     
Nationality:     
Profession:     
Previous experience in the field of ergonomics:    Yes    No
Previous experience with virtual reality applications:    Yes    No

ErgoScenes has been created by Eike Branahl, Dietmar Gude, Philipp Kawalek, Holger Mescheder, and Andreas Prions-Dieckmann. The service is a contribution of the Virtual Reality laboratory at the IfADoexternal link to the joint project group INTEGRAL IIexternal link, which develops a multimedia training platform for ergonomics. Questions or suggestions concerning the conceptual design of this service or its technical realization should be send to Dietmar Gude.
