With the rapid development of the e-sports industry, e-sports-related products are also emerging, such as keyboards that are more suitable for operation, mice that are more suitable for human gestures, gaming chairs that are more suitable for sitting and watching computers, and other e-sports peripheral products are also experiencing rapid development.
Today we will talk about the suitable size design for the gaming chair.
When people keep sitting, fatigue is caused by the abnormal bending of the spine, the compression of the seat on the muscle vessels and the static force of the muscles. With the increasing work intensity in recent years, there are more and more "chair disease" caused by long sitting, which makes people realize the harm of bad seat or long-term bad sitting posture. Therefore, more and more attention is paid to ergonomics and other problems in the design of modern seat.
Seat height
The standard minimum seat height of the gaming chair (excluding the seat surface subsidence) is generally 430~450mm, and the standard maximum seat height (excluding the seat surface subsidence) is generally 500~540mm. In addition to the standard size, some brands also provide enlarged seats, aiming to meet the needs of people above the standard height.
Seat width
The width of gaming chair seat should be slightly larger than the sitting hip width of people. According to the national standard of human body horizontal size, the sitting hip width of men is 284~369 mm, and that of women is 295~400mm. The minimum seat width of several gaming chairs investigated is 340 mm, which is smaller than the size of general office chairs. It can be seen that the gaming chair is more in pursuit of the wrapping of the human body, but not conducive to the free movement of human legs. The maximum seat width is 570mm, which is close to the width of the ordinary office chair. It can be seen that the gaming chair is also developing to the office field.
Seat depth
sports competition or training, because of its high tension state of mind, players usually upright body or body bent forward, around a seat depth usually should be controlled in 400 mm advisable, and gaming chair that in research is with a seat depth range of 510 ~ 560 mm, obviously slightly larger size, but generally gaming chairs will be attached lumbar cushion. As there is a larger backrest angle for gaming chair, The greater seat depth makes it more comfortable for the hips and thighs when you lie down.
Backrest
The back of the gaming chair is generally high back, and the general gaming chair is with a headrest. Among the products investigated, the height of the backrest ranges from 820 mm to 930 mm, and the inclination angle between the backrest and the seat surface ranges from 90° to 172°.
The overall width
In ergonomics, objects should not only have a relationship with people, but also with the environment. The overall size of a product is also a key parameter when evaluating a product. Among several gaming chairs in this research, the minimum width of the product is 670 mm, and the maximum width is 700 mm. Compared with ergonomic office chair, the overall width of gaming chair is smaller, which can be adapted to small space such as dormitory.
In general, with the continuous development of e-sports and game industry, gaming chair, as a derivative product of office chair, should be more and more widely used in the future. Therefore, in the design of gaming chair size, more consideration should be given to smaller female users and middle-aged users who need more head, back and waist support.
