Can built products inspire better digital experiences?
<p>The design of manufactured products requires a great deal of consideration of ergonomics to ensure the products we’re designing fit the people using them. When designing furniture we use percentiles to make products the right scale which helps us to create comfort, reduce fatigue or injury, this often works for the most part but can still lead to excluding people.</p>
<p>For example it’s common practice to design for the 5th percentile female to 95th percentile male. The idea is that the 5th% to 95th% range accommodates approximately 90% of the population. This is suitable for people who fall into the range. Car seats, plane seats, worktop heights, doorways, the list goes on… many of these products are designed to fit within this range.</p>
