Abstract :
Although there is a large amount of research publications available on the ergonomics of Visual Display Terminals, only few authors applied human factors´ thoughts in a CAD-environment. This paper describes the results of an ergonomic survey on interactive graphics workstations. Starting from an analysis of specific characteristics of CAD-operation, areas of improvement in workstation design can be deduced.
