Putting Users First – AR Design for Wearability. D Carson.
Within the global population we find many differences in the factors that drive fit & comfort in AR, which presents a substantial challenge to design. Danny will discuss several aspects of human anthropometry, along with the concepts of Fit Mapping and Fit Testing as they apply to designing wearable devices for a global audience.
Appearance or attitude: what matters to craniosynostosis patients? Association of self-esteem, depressive symptoms, and facial aesthetics in patients with sagittal and metopic synostosis. A Svalina, E Heikura, T Savolainen et al.
Non-syndromic craniosynostosis patients are as satisfied with their appearance in adulthood as the control group and do not experience a lower self-esteem or more depressive symptoms. Facial asymmetry does not correlate with low self-esteem or clinically significant depressive symptoms in adulthood. Subjective evaluation of one’s appearance correlated with depressive symptoms. Age and gender do not influence the former results. Overall, patients are satisfied with their appearance.
A semi-automatic three-dimensional technique using a regionalized facial template enables facial growth assessment in healthy children from 1.5 to 5.0 years of age. R Bruggink, F Baan, S Brons, TGJ Loonen, AM Kuijpers-Jagtman, TJJ Maal, EM Ongkosuwito.
To develop a semi-automatic technique to evaluate normative facial growth in healthy children between the age of 1.5 and 5.0 years using three-dimensional stereophotogrammetric images.
3D stereophotogrammetry in children and adolescents with Scleroderma En Coup De Sabre/Parry‐Romberg Syndrome: Description of a novel method for monitoring disease progression. R ter Horst, TJJ Maal, MJJ de Koning, JS Mertens, EJH Schatorjé, EP Hoppenreijs et al.
This descriptive, retrospective, single centre cohort study aims to describe the contribution of 3D photographs in the assessment of the degree of facial asymmetry changes over time in growing children and adolescents with ECDS and PRS.
Craniofacial characteristics and cosmetic satisfaction of patients with sagittal and metopic synostosis: a case–control study using 3D photogrammetric imaging. A Svalina, V Vuollo, W Serlo, et al.
The goal was to find objective measurements that would correlate with the patient’s subjective self-evaluation of their own cosmetic appearance.
Correction of trigonocephaly after endoscopic strip craniectomy with postoperative helmet orthosis therapy: a 3D stereophotogrammetric study. A Elawadly, L Smith, A Borghi, KI Abdelaziz, AHD Silva, DJ Dunaway, NO Jeelani, J Ong, G James.
The authors analyzed a number of metrics measured using 3D stereophotogrammetry following ESCH, an imaging alternative that is free of ionizing radiation and can be performed on awake children.
Age-dependent machine learning model improves head shape characterization and provides longitudinal evaluation of patients with craniosynostosis.
Results show a significant improvement…and encourage the clinical use of 3D photogrammetry to reduce exposure to radiation of children.
3D Photography to Quantify the Severity of Metopic Craniosynostosis. MK Bruce, WH Tao, J Beiriger, C Christensen, MJ Pfaff, R Whitaker, JA Goldstein.
Results of this study show that 3dMD photography is a valid alternative to CT for evaluation of head shape in MCS. Its use will provide an objective, quantifiable means of assessing outcomes in a rigorous manner while decreasing radiation exposure in this patient population.
Unilateral Cleft Lip Repair: Technical Maneuvers to Achieve Vermilion and Mucosal Height. SN Chiang, E Zubovic, GB Skolnick, KB Patel.
The technique of mucosal repair merits more careful attention than it has previously received, and here we describe in detail a method that has allowed for good symmetry.
