Digital Human Models (DHMs) are a tool that can be used to aid in determining dimensions for human-centered designs. DHMs have the ability to represent the anthropometric extremes of the population and help to determine which dimensions should be used to accommodate a...

From simple color-coding to more intricate forms like the “Chernoff face”, glyphs are a means of visualizing multidimensional data. The spatial design of products for their users presents a unique opportunity for using glyphs as a visual metaphor for encoding data,...

A common objective in designing for human variability is consideration of the variability in body size and shape of the target user population. Since anthropometric data specific to the user population of interest are seldom available, the variability is approximated....
