Abstract

The paper presents a new methodology for displaying the user's functional demands and evaluating product design for older people. Digital design models are integrated with virtual users (digital human models) generated in Jack software and refined from 3D body scanning data. The real interaction between physical design prototypes and potential users are captured by a 3D motion capture system. The captured motion is imposed onto the virtual human in Jack to perform design task analysis graphically.
