Resumo
A ergonomia está cada vez mais presente no desenvolvimento do produto e consequentemente no processo produtivo. As empresas estão sentindo que o investimento em ergonomia é de suma importância na preservação da saúde de seus colaboradores como também no aumento de eficiência da produtividade. Para isso algumas empresas investem em alta tecnologia como Centros de Realidades Virtuais para simular e prever atividades futuras e desenvolver novos produtos. Esta ferramenta utilizada pelas indústrias busca antecipar a melhor solução para os postos de trabalho tornando as atividades menos desgastantes e penosas como também tornando os produtos mais eficientes. Deste modo a pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar a aplicação da realidade virtual imersiva na análise e avaliação ergonômica por meio do design participativo e assim conhecer suas potencialidades. Este estudo buscou verificar até que ponto a realidade virtual pode auxiliar os especialistas em ergonomia sem que os mesmos tenham que produzir modelos físicos. A metodologia empregada nesta pesquisa envolveu a utilização de um Centro de Realidade Virtual - CRV com o método de grupo de foco simulando atividades e captando a percepção dos sujeitos envolvidos. O experimento evidenciou grande relevância nas aplicações da realidade virtual em algumas situações como na análise de biomecânica, movimento simultâneo e percepção do usuário, porém em algumas atividades verificou-se a necessidade da construção de modelos físicos para maior interação e envolvimento do sujeito. Os testes efetuados também mostraram que a realidade virtual tornou possível a avaliação ergonômica de uma atividade que seria impossível de ser efetuada em ambiente real sem que houvesse uma grande alocação financeira. Este fato se deve pelo motivo da dimensão do produto estudado (grande proporção) e a complexidade do processo...
The ergonomics is even more present time in the development of the productive process. The companies feel that the investment in ergonomics is of utmost importance in the preservation of its collaborators health as well as in the increase of efficiency of the productivity. For this reason companies invest in high technology as Centers of Virtual Realities to simulate and to foresee future activities as well as to develop new products. This tool used by the industries searches to anticipate the best solution for the work place turning tough activities less tiring as well as making the products more efficient. In this way the research had as objective to evaluate the application of the immersed virtual reality in the analysis and ergonomic evaluation through the participatory design to know its potentialities. This study aimed verifies to what point the virtual reality can assist the specialists in ergonomics without producing physical models. The methodology used in this research involved the use of a Center of Virtual Reality - CVR with the method of group of focus simulationg some activities and catching the perception of the involved person. The experiment evidenced great relevance in the applications of the virtual reality in some situations as in the analysis of biomechanics and perception of the user, however in some activities it was verified the necessity of the construction of physical models for bigger interaction and involvement of the participants. The tests had also shown that the virtual reality became the ergonomic evaluation of an activity possible which would be impossible to be done in real environment without the necessity on financial allocation. This fact is due to the reason of the dimension of the studied product (great ratio) and the complexity of the process. The tool (Virtual Reality) also provided to try the involvement of the team through participatory design ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
