Ergonomics is by definition “the design characteristics of an object resulting especially from the application of the science of ergonomics.” (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ergonomics)

It (from the Greek word ergon meaning work, and nomoi meaning natural laws), is the science of refining the design of products to optimize them for human use. Human characteristics, such as height, weight, and proportions are considered, as well as information about human hearing, sight, temperature preferences, and so on. Ergonomics is sometimes known as human factors engineering.

Computers and related products, such as computer desks and chairs, are frequently the focus of ergonomic design. A great number of people use these products for extended periods of time — such as the typical work day. If these products are poorly designed or improperly adjusted for human use, the person using them may suffer unnecessary fatigue, stress, and even injury.

Ergonomics is the process of designing or arranging workplaces, products and systems to fit the users. It is connecting wisdom and knowledge of many world’s leading professionals in the fields of physiology, product design and mechanics.

It plays an important role when you want your body to regenerate and relax. That is why ergonomics is an important part of AirPod’s design and development.

Robert Klun, Head of Design and Development: “AirPod will be built with years of experiences on field of ergonomics.We will integrate zero gravity chair in the AirPod to make you feel weightless, stress-free and energized.”
