Human body models of pose and motion are widely used in the interactive design process. Existing models, however, have examined movements of the thoracic spine independent of the ribcage, without specifically examining the influence of motion on specific thoracic areas. Additionally, current models are not widely used by designers or the industry f...

Background: Biomechanical simulation is an important tool in human-centred design, allowing for the assessment of comfort interactions between user, product and space, to optimize design features from an ergonomics perspective. Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a biomechanical model for the evaluation of postural comfort levels. M...

Ergonomic models and techniques are a fundamental issue in the design of comfortable and safe products and spaces. User studies, related to visualization tools are current issues in the ergonomics and design visualization literature. But researchers have begun to discover that user study is rarely straightforward, especially when drawing visualizat...

A magnetic field pad location system is provided with dual elongated field generation pads with self - tracking . Eachpad comprises magnetic coils operable to generate magnetic fields . The pads include a mechanism for securing the two pads in place on a patient table to prevent movement of the pads . A processor executes a process for installation...

The objective of this study is the usability validation of a real time–motion history volume (RT–MHV) model visualization solution, developed by the authors, by examining the advantages it gives designers, and identifying unresolved application issues that require further research. Herein, we assess our hypothesis that the usability of the RT–MHV a...
