Abstract

<p>We reported ergonomic practice for the development of a swing chair to induce drowsiness and relaxation. In the process of functional examination and improvement of the chair, we examined not only the chair angles but also the swinging amplitude to enhance the effect of using the chair. The subsequent verification process suggested that drowsiness and relaxation could be induced by adjusting the position and swinging speed of the chair according to an individual’s preference. Finally, the developed swing chair was commercialized and sold, and a survey of its customers confirmed that they were highly satisfied with the product. From these practices, the role and issues of ergonomics will be discussed in terms of developing products that have an impact on the human body and mind.</p>
