Abstract

This paper presents a virtual reality application dedicated to the ergonomic evaluation and adaptation of workplaces destined for the physically disabled. Handiposte aims at assisting doctors and ergonomists as an interactive simulation based tool. After a general survey about virtual reality tools oriented towards ergonomic studies, we propose a specific framework for the design of such an application using a particular design methodology. We conclude by presenting a first prototype and by outlining future improvements.
