Digitalisering van de mens [Human digitization]
conference paper
Body dimensions are of utmost importance for the design and evaluation of work places and body related products. Unfortunately, few up to date databases of the civilian population are currently available. This is partly due to the labour costs of manual measurements. 3D surface anthropo-metry offers a cheaper alternative for large scale anthropometric surveys. In a few seconds the outside of the body is digitized and labour costs are drastically reduced. A large scale anthropo-metry survey in the US, Netherlands and Italy, called CAESAR is currently carried out using 3D scanning. The scan data has a wide range of applications such as optimizing the fit of apparel, improved work space design, and a variety of medical applications.
