IEA-DHM 2011

Event description

Ergonomic evaluation of a product often requires building a physical mock-up or prototype, having a group of experts or a representative sample of users test it, and then provide an assessment of discomfort and ease of use. This is an expensive and time-consuming process especially when the product design has to be modified and re-validated. Digital Mock-Ups (DMU) together with Digital Human Models (DHM), are increasingly used in the early phase of product design in order to reduce the product development time and cost. In order to help the designer evaluate the future product, the digital human should ideally behave like a real human being, not only in terms of anthropometry and biomechanics, but also in terms of motion, discomfort, attention and perception, and occupational injury. The main objective of this symposium is to provide a unique opportunity for researchers, software editors and end-users to share most recent R&D results and DHM experience.
