PURPOSE • Enhance the capabilities of the Anthropometry and Biomechanics Facility (ABF), specifically in the areas of gathering surface and volumetric data and developing analytical tools based on threedimensional anthropometric data. • Conventional method of gathering data and handling data are limited and often irrelevant for identifying crew-hardware compatibility issues. • Acquire state-of-the art whole body scanner technology. • Develop software tools to incorporate multidimensional, whole-body, posture-specific, population-dependent anthropometric data. 2
Traditional Anthropometers and Goniometers are used for manual measurements

Immediate Goals • Segment the body at different anatomical locations. • Add new landmarks to segment the body at the new landmark locations • Re-link the segmented parts together for movement at the joint centers.
