Geoffrey and Katherine Cubitt Human Integration and Simulation Lab - DUDL 3485

Move 4D Story - Part 1

 

  • Lab facility for Industrial Engineering faculty and students to study biomechanics, biosensors, physical and cognitive work measurement, driving & aviation simulators.  This is also an instructional classroom and can be configured for classroom settings.
  • 1,500 sq. ft. (3rd floor)
  • This lab will allow space for ergonomic study of the human body while under various load scenarios and study of bodily wear associated with repetitive tasks.  Load and wear scenarios associated with repetitive manufacturing tasks as in product assembly, or material movement and carry, or cumulative stresses developed in reaching.
  • Also, human cognitive decision making under various situations involving attention distractions, environmental elements, or crisis management.
  • Also, as the general population ages, what kind of effect does age play in cognitive decision making, driving or flying ability, and reaction time are to be studied in this lab.

Move4D Scanner System

MOVE4D is a dynamic body scanner and automatic processing software for the generation of watertight and homologous digital human models.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A wire form 4D model (time included) may be immediately generated from the scanner and the “mannikin” may be manipulated and studied in unlimited scenarios.  For instance, the optimal way for a person to enter and exit a vehicle, the optimal way for a track and field sprinter to exit from their starting blocks, or the most efficient way for a person to exercise.
