New Parametric Human Website Launched
August 25, 2009

Welcome to the launch of our new blog documenting the process of creating an advanced biomechanical parametric human model. Working with a consortium of experts in various fields of study, such as the Dynamic Graphics Project and the Musculoskeletal Anatomy Laboratory, both at the University of Toronto, and FARO Technologies, we hope to develop a new foundation for multiscale human modeling and simulation at the anatomical level. While there are many problems to solve in many different areas, we are excited about the possibilities of developing a complete parametric model, conducive to simulation for ergonomics design.

We invite you to participate too. By nature, a project like this involves many disciplines and expertise from many areas. If you are interested in getting involved or contributing data sets or models, please contact Azam Khan.
