HFES Best Paper Award Webinar: Ergonomics in Design Best Paper Award 2023: “Body–Product Relationship for Aging Women Examined Through the Lens of Functional Anthropometry”

Product not yet rated

As the Director of the Human Dimensioning Lab (HDL), Dr. Griffin develops new methods for utilizing 3D/4D technology and understanding the body-product relationship. Through research, the HDL has created representative 3D /4D anthropometric databases and promote systems-based, interdisciplinary design for the purpose of protecting and clothing humans, with a special emphasis on those who are disadvantaged and underserved.

The purpose of the paper presented in this webinar was to understand how measurements of the aging body change in the seated and standing positions. An integrated approach was taken to select the appropriate 3D scanning technology, develop a landmarking method, and position the body to analyze the waist–hip–thigh region. Each part of the method was developed to enable an in-depth analysis of circumference measurements and shape change, including the expansion and contraction of body shape across different postures. New 3D scanning methods to quantify diverse bodies can improve product fit and create inclusive, quality design for all.
