Introduction to Anthropometry 2
• Applying Anthropometry to Design
• New Methods
• Anthropometry in Standards Development: A Case Study
What body dimensions are measured?
New Measurement Methods
• 3 D Body Surface measurement– Mechanical Probes– Scanning Devices
New Opportunities to Use Anthropometric Data
Digital models of individuals & their mobility device Digitized landmark data
Reach envelopes Superimpose coordinate data from structural and reach
measurements
