HFESTG - Communications

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Did you know that the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has 24 technical groups that are concerned with the human factors aspects of specific application areas? One of those is the Communications Technical Group The Communications Technical consists of people interested in all aspects of human factors as applied to communication systems. This includes the initial determination of user needs as well as the implementation of human factors considerations during design, installation, operation,field evaluation, personnel selection, training, and maintenance. Specific areas of interest include telecommunications, human communications, and computer-based communications. Most research related to human factors in communications is carried out at universities and at companies involved with the design, development, and manufacturing of communications products. Current active research areas include the following: User interface research for telecommunications equipment, Computer networks and network management, Audio and video teleconferencing, and more.

Profile picture for Nick Roome

Nick Roome

Nick is currently a Senior UX Researcher at Turvo in the Pacific Northwest, focused on developing innovative solutions and optimizing human performance for SaaS based supply chain logistics programs. Alongside colleague and friends, Blake Arnsdorff and Barry Kirby, Nick hosts and produces Human Factors Cast, a weekly podcast that investigates the sciences of human factors, psychology, engineering, biomechanics, industrial design, physiology and anthropometry and how it affects our interaction with technology. Nick’s other areas of interest include, but are not limited to virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, systems engineering, and artificially intelligent systems.

Nick Started Human Factors Cast in early 2016 as a side-project. He believed that the way Human Factors concepts were being communicated is broken and saw a way to fix it. After getting initial traction, Nick moved to work on the Human Factors Cast Digital Media Lab and began assembling a multi-disciplinary team to test out new concepts in Human Factors communication.
