Three-dimensional head and face dimensions of Chilean versus US CAESAR 3D data: Differences and implications for personal protective equipment design.

Background: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is crucial for minimizing workplace hazards, and its effectiveness relies on adapting to diverse anthropometric features.

Objective: To establish the first 3D anthropometry database of Chilean workers.Also, this study compares 18 dimensions with the North American CAESAR three-dimensional anthropometrical scan database.

Foot shape assessment techniques for orthotic and footwear applications: a methodological literature review.

Introduction: Foot shape assessment is important to characterise the complex shape of a foot, which is in turn essential for accurate design of foot orthoses and footwear, as well as quantification of foot deformities (e.g., hallux valgus).

Autonomic responses to pressure sensitivity of head, face and neck: Heart rate and skin conductance.

Subjective scales are frequently used in the design process of head-related products to assess pressure discomfort. Nevertheless, some users lack fundamental cognitive and motor abilities (e.g.

Non-Rigid Registration Via Intelligent Adaptive Feedback Control.

Preserving features or local shape characteristics of a mesh using conventional non-rigid registration methods is always difficult, as the preservation and deformation are competing with each other. The challenge is to find a balance between these two terms in the process of the registration, especially in presence of artefacts in the mesh. We present a non-rigid Iterative Closest Points (ICP) algorithm which addresses the challenge as a control problem.

Dense 3D pressure discomfort threshold (PDT) map of the human head, face and neck: A new method for mapping human sensitivity.

When designing wearables that interface with the human head, face and neck, designers and engineers consider human senses, ergonomics and comfort. A dense 3D pressure discomfort threshold map could be helpful, but does not exist yet. Differences in pressure discomfort threshold for areas of the head, neck and face were recorded, to create a 3D pressure discomfort threshold map.
