Human Factors
is a multidisciplinary field studying the design of systems and equipment that fit the human physical and cognitive abilities.
Human factors
professionals are in a unique position to practice their trade within a variety of domains including government, industry, and military. Regardless of the domain, good
user experience
, as provided by a human factors practitioner, affords more effective human systems interaction. In this paper, we offer insights into the value of a good user experience and the consequences of not providing it; we discuss organizational and practical challenges that may lead to neglecting user experience; and finally, we offer ideas on how to bring human factors into projects and provide better user experience.
