Abstract:
Manufacturers producing ready-to-assembly furniture are experiencing an increasing demand from customers, who expect products to be customised so as to fit their particular needs. To this purpose, in this paper we propose a system for the design of customized ergonomic furniture using anthropometric dimensions. The proposed system is based on the extraction of basic anthropometric measurements using Microsoft® Kinect sensor and the automatic generation of furniture design recommendations using a rule-based approach. The applicability of the proposed approach is discussed through an exemplar office chair design scenario.
