High-resolution head and face surface data were gathered in a 3dMD system. Head scan data with a range of facial expressions to capture the associated variation in face shape is essential for the design of protective helmets and other head-borne equipment. High-resolution hand size and shape surface data were also recorded to include standardized and functional hand poses, including a flat hand, fist, and various grasps.

As the first step in customizing the prototype, a set of 21 facial anthropometric landmarks and 15 dimensions was selected for the design. The faces of three members of the research team were scanned using a 3dMD digital scanning system. From these scans, algorithms were developed to create digital representations of the contours of the RPD frame.
