Abstract
This study develops a new computer console that is to be used on a ship according to ergonomics principles. The proposed design enables console operators to safely, comfortably, and efficiently operate equipment in the ship navigating environment. This study discusses human limitations to work with computer consoles in extreme motion conditions and confined workspaces that is typical of the ship environment. The system architecture, developments, and detailed design considerations are discussed in the paper.
