Simulation of Physical Disabilities in Computer Designs of Environments

På svenska

Author

Summary, in English

This paper presents some methods of improving the simulation of human movements. Since we are developing a tool for the planning of environments for physically disabled persons, it is important to consider the future user’s abilities in particular. Methods such as the use of human models, acquiring joint ranges and motions (from MacReflex and DataGlove systems), editing postures and motions, setting up libraries of postures and motions and the use of Virtual Reality systems is discussed.
