including: ecological design educational and game design cultural and ethical aspects in
design user research and human-computer interaction in design as well as design for
accessibility and extreme environments and many others. The book places special emphasis on
new technologies such as virtual reality state-of-the-art methodologies in information design
and human-computer interfaces. Based on the AHFE 2017 International Conference on Ergonomics in
Design held on July 17-21 2017 in Los Angeles California USA the book offers a timely
