Development of Portable Hammock Set Products through Anthropometric Aspects to Fix Product Dimensions

摘要

A product design intended to facilitate the user, so a design usually refers to the target user who will use the product. The Portable Hammock Set product is a design aimed at users who want to relax enjoy the scenery using a hammock without searching for a binder or tree. After this product is designed, the authors tested using Kawakita Jiro Method to test the product feasibility according to the respondents. From the results of these studies, respondents argue that the framework of this product looks not strong. This is reinforced by a direct experiment using the product and the result when the user is used, the framework's hammock is bent. When a product cannot accommodate a user, then one factor is the determination of an inappropriate user percentile. So this problem is discussed in anthropometry. By reviewing the percentile of users in anthropometry, then use the comparative method to find the size of the framework that corresponds to the type of portable hammock designed. The results are the percentile requirements of users with body weight, height of the user and accompanied by the pole distance size and height of the framework as a reference of the new product dimension.
