The Technical Committee on Anthropometry Webinar Series

Duration: 60 mins, including time for discussion

The introduction of full body 3D scanning in the early 2000s provided new directions for research into apparel sizing and fit. This talk will focus on apparel practice in body measurement, how it differs from anthropometric methods, and the initial use of 3D data in apparel research. Current research on understanding the 3D body and how it relates to apparel measurement practice will be discussed.
