Abstract
Human modeling in design consists of human system integration (HSI), human factors integrated with systems engineering. That involves augmenting human capabilities and improving human-in-the-loop systems global performance, robustness and safety by behavioral technologies. For such human-in-the-loop systems design, this paper proposes an integrative physiological approach based on Chauvet’s mathematical theory of integrative physiology (MTIP). By applying MTIP principles as theoretical framework, the integrative physiological modeling is used to model HIS and experiment a gesture-based method for virtual environment (VE) design and human system integration assessment. To demonstrate the pertinence and practicability of the developed integrative approach, we apply it to a wearable interactive system made up of virtual environment technologies for gesture assistance. The design prototype was evaluated in weightlessness during parabolic flights and confirms the effectiveness of the integrative physiological modeling.
