Abstract

From the data obtained by this method of analysis, and applying existing anthropometric and ergonomic principles, products can be evaluated with comparison to existing studies. This makes feasible the study of complex 3D systems, and also provides a valuable evaluation tool in the design process. Further development of this tool will incorporate joint range of motion and time dependent criteria such as fatigue.
