ABSTRACT

From the very beginning of the development of 3D anthropometric computer manmodels, researchers involved in this development process have published their work. Their main interest - the development of a ‘perfect’ man-model - is reflected in these publications. During the years the publications on man-model development became accompanied by case studies: what are the results of the use of anthropometric manmodels in designing workspaces and products. Up till now almost no publications have appeared about the actual use (and usability) of anthropometric man-models.
