Description
Manual on designing hands-on exhibits, specifically addressing 'human factors': "the study of the relationship between people and machines... In exhibits, sharp corners, confusing instructions, glare from reflective materials, and controls that are too high or too hard to turn are design problems that are all too common, but that might be avoided by greater attention to these concerns." - preface.
