Ergonomic Handle Design

using anthropometrics and user testing to create a more ergonomic flashlight handle

In a team, I used anthropometrics and iterative user testing to create a more ergonomic handle design for a flashlight. We went through three stages of prototype iterations before reaching the final design. At each step we defined metrics and created user surveys to improve each prototype.

Tools & Materials:

Modulan, foam, woodworking tools

Takeaways:

  • How to use iterative testing and prototyping to refine a model

  • Rapid prototyping for ergonomics
