As the founding partner of the Parametric Human project, Autodesk Research is excited about creating a new international group of researchers pursuing the development of an advanced multiscale parametric digital human biomechanical model. From basic research to applying innovations from related fields, we want to foster an open shared knowledge-base for real anatomical data and models.

The Musculoskeletal Anatomy Lab studies and documents the three-dimensional musculotendinous architecture of human muscle tissue and related components. As a key partner in the Parametric Human initiative, we look forward to the advances possible by putting it all together in a single high-quality model. Human variation is still a poorly understood area of anatomy and this project also seeks to advance our understanding of the parameters involved in describing this variation.

The University of Toronto's Dynamic Graphics Project (dgp) is an interdisciplinary research laboratory within the Department of Computer Science. The lab's mission is advanced research and graduate instruction in human-computer interaction and computer graphics. dgp is home base to Computer Science faculty and students in these two areas.

FARO develops and markets computer-aided measuring equipment and software for creating digital 3D models. The equipment enables highly precise 3D measurements, 3D comparisons of small and large parts and components directly in production, factory planning, and as-built documentation - like specialized applications in mechanical engineering, accident research and documentation, and heritage.
