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.
