Methods and Tools for 3D Measurement of Hands and Feet

This was a collaborative research led by Associate Professor Dr. Linsey Griffin in the Human Dimensioning lab aimed to develop a reliable method for collecting data on 3D scans of different human body parts such as heads, torsos, and hands. To achieve this, digital software was utilized to gather various measurements including linear, surface, and space dimensions from the scans. The project was to collaborate with a manufacturing facility to provide them with information on hand clearance spaces (i.e., the required space for the hand to work safely).
