Exploration of the Integration of Markerless Motion Capture and Virtual Reality for Ergonomics Assessment of Products in Early Design

Creator:

Zhang, Jianfu

Abstract:

This thesis uses the manuscript option. The First Manuscript proposed a markerless Motion Capture (MOCAP) system with a Virtual Reality (VR) setup, which has the potential to eliminate excess cost and time associated with physical prototyping. Validation of the proposed virtual ergonomics analysis was made by measuring L4/L5 compression forces....

Percent Area Visual Obscuration of F1 Racecar Canopies

Creator:

Jennings, Alex

Abstract:

Considering human product interactions early and often in the engineering design process may improve product quality, facilitate user safety, reduce time to market, decrease or eliminate the need for costly physical prototypes, and reduce expensive late stage design changes. Currently, F1 race cars do not include a cockpit canopy to...
