Laboratory Methods for a Pilot Study of the U.S. YouthShape Survey of Child and Youth Anthropometry and Physical Capability. MLH Jones, SM Ebert, CS Miller, BKD Park, H Jung, A Wood, LE Robinson, MP Reed.

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.

Nose Shape Categorization and Its Impact on Design in Head Mounted Displays. TM Schnieders, K Bredenkamp, S La Rosa.

This study with 1736 subjects evaluates how Martin and Saller’s nasal index correlates to a more comprehensive exploration of nose shape variables using Principal component analysis (PCA) and nonparametric bivariate correlation analysis in the context of the design of head-mounted displays (HMDs).

Impact of autologous breast reconstruction on bra fit. YT Liu, NH Khan, MC Bordes, et al.

Preoperative baseline breast measurements, age, and BMI can impact bra designs for breast cancer survivors who undergo autologous reconstruction due to size, shape, and symmetry changes. Bra needs of people who undergo autologous reconstruction differ from those who undergo implant-based reconstruction.
