Ergonomik Bilgisayar Kullanımına Yönlendiren Bir Asistan Sistem Tasarımı

Günümüzde hemen her yaş gurubundan insan bilgisayarların ve bilgisayar destekli sistemlerin kullanıcısı konumundadır. Hayatımızı kolaylaştıran teknoloji bir yandan da sağlığımızı tehdit edebilmektedir. Son yıllarda artan bel-boyun ağrıları ve fıtık, eklemlerde kireçlenme, görme bozuklukları, obezite gibi rahatsızlıkların başlıca sebeplerinden bir tanesi de yanlış bilgisayar kullanımıdır. Bilgisayarların yaygın kullanımı da bu bulguları arttırmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı bilgisayar kullanıcısı bireyleri ergonomik açıdan daha dikkatli bilgisayar kullanmaya yönlendirmektir. Bu amaçla geliştirilen kullanıcı ile etkileşimli sistem, bireylerin bilgisayar kullandıkları süre boyunca ekrana olan uzaklıklarını, ekrana bakış açılarını ve ekrana bakma süresini takip ederek gerekli durumlarda sesli ya da yazılı ikaz vermektedir. Bu sistemin, bireyleri ergonomik bilgisayar kullanımına teşvik ederek bilgisayar kullanım sıklığından kaynaklı sağlık problemlerini azaltacağı düşünülmektedir.

Designing an Assistant System Encouraging Ergonomic Computer Usage

Today, people of almost every age group are users of computers and computer aided systems. Technology makes our life easier, but it can also threaten our health. In recent years, one of the main causes of the proliferation of diseases such as lower back pain, neck pain or hernia, Arthritis, visual disturbances and obesity is wrong computer usage. The widespread use of computers also increases these findings. The purpose of this study is to direct computer users to use computers more carefully in terms of ergonomics. The user-interactive system developed for this purpose controls distance of the user to the screen and calculates the look angle and the time spent looking at the screen and provides audio or text format warning when necessary. It is thought that this system will reduce the health problems caused by the frequency of computer usage by encouraging individuals to use computers ergonomically.
