SUMMARY:Anthropometry Applied to Wearable Product Design\, Washington\, US
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to attend an exciting workshop on how to effec
 tively design wearable products and improve the bottom-line.  This is a o
 ne-time hands-on workshop with a maximum of 40 attendees.  The instructor
 s come from 4 continents\, (Europe\, North America\, Africa\, and Australi
 a) and bring a global commerce perspective.\n\nWhere: Human Factors and Er
 gonomics Society (HFES) Conference in Seattle USA\nWhen: Monday 28th Octob
 er 2019.\nTitle: "Anthropometry Applied to Wearable Product Design"\nPrese
 nters are Kathleen Robinette\, Sandra Alemany\, Karen Bredenkamp and Daisy
  Veitch.\n\nLink: http://www.hfes2019.org/workshops.html\n\nAbout the wor
 kshop: Many technology advances have been made since the 2004 publication 
 of the HFES 300 Committee’s "Guidelines for Using Anthropometric Data in
  Product Design".  For example\, we now have 3D printing for rapid protot
 yping\, inexpensive 3D scanning for fit visualization\, and virtual or aug
 mented reality for experiencing product concepts.  These advances have en
 abled the use of anthropometric methods in product development that were p
 reviously too time consuming or expensive.  This workshop will present up
 -to-date best practices and cover the product development process from the
  first statistical models to the final product using recent examples and s
 uccess stories from the wearable product and apparel industries.   It wi
 ll be presented in five parts corresponding to the design loop of the Syst
 ems Engineering (SE) Process: 1) introduction to anthropometry\, cases\, f
 it and SE\, 2) statistics for anthropometry\, identification of cases and 
 prototype development\, 3) human modeling\, CAD and prototyping\, 4) fit m
 apping with hands-on fit assessment\, and 5) statistics for cost/benefit a
 nalysis and size selection.   Data analysis will be done during the work
 shop\, and an Excel™ data file with 58 anthropometric and demographic va
 riables on 2379 North American subjects will be provided to all attendees.
   SPSS™ and Excel™ software will be used in the course and some SPSS 
 code files will be provided in text form for students to use after the wor
 kshop.  Attendees will also receive an electronic copy of the HFES’ gui
 delines book.  Fit mapping of a glove will be done during the workshop an
 d attendees will be provided with a copy of the fit data as well as the da
 ta collection forms used.   Participants will want to bring a laptop com
 puter preferably with Microsoft Office™\, particularly Excel™ for the 
 best experience.  Experienced designers\, engineers\, and human factors p
 rofessionals will get the most out of the workshop.
