Research Study 023 / 200

Button placement conflicts with natural motion.

Critical buttons fall outside comfortable reach, forcing users to adjust their grip.

Research Focus: Ergonomics and Inclusive DesignProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Observe finger dwell, travel, and press paths during primary tasks.
  2. Reorganize button zones around frequent, occasional and safeguarded actions.
  3. Use interactive models to test reach, feedback and accidental inputs.

Key Deliverables

  • Reach Map
  • Button Zones
  • Interactive Prototype

Verification Approach

Record hand switching, compensatory movements and incorrect button presses.
