There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

TITLE: Digital Human Simulations for Analysis and Design of Workspaces
SPEAKER: Dr. Don Chaffin
ABSTRACT:
This talk will review various past and present attempts within the UM Human Motion Simulation Laboratory to model and predict how demographically defined groups of people reach and move about in simulated work settings. Research results will be illustrated with a case study from the US Army,that combines both behavioral based kinematics models with biomechanical models of workers. Future challenges and opportunities in the field of digital human modeling will be discussed.
