The successes in ergonomics, occupational health prevention, the interior outlay of passenger compartments, the design of machines, or the better fit criteria’s for standard apparels were not feasible without a thorough understanding of the human figure, body proportionalities, limits of human mobility along with detailed distribution statistic of various populations. The traditional tools used to gain this information are measurement tapes and calipers. The disadvantages of this technology are that the measurements are not reproducible and body shapes cannot be considered.
A decisive drive for new ways in anthropometrics came by introducing 3-D body scanner technology. Human Solutions’ ANTHROSCAN is an efficient system for surveys measuring specific populations and groups with focus on measurement quality, landmarks, DIN and ISO compliancy and statistical analysis of data. With its flexibility that allows users an individual customization and by the nature of 3-D body scanning ANTHROSCAN overcomes the problems of reproducibility, archiving body shapes, and completeness of data collections.
