Technical program
The program of the workshop consists, during two full days, of an opening session, seven technical sessions and a closing session with discussion.
The opening session includes the welcome speeches of the organizer Hometrica Consulting (Switzerland) and from the hosting institute, the Digital Human Research Center (Japan).
The rest of the presentations are divided into seven technical sessions covering the various relevant sectors of 3D body scanning and a poster session. The closing session is planned with a discussion on validation methods of 3D body scanners.
A parallel exhibition allows manufacturers of scanning equipment to demonstrate live their products to all participants.
Coffee breaks, lunch breaks and a buffet dinner party are planned in order to increase the possibilities for building relationships and exchanging ideas between the authors, attendees and exhibitors.
The program of the workshop is available as PDF file.
Note: the program and schedule of the workshop can be subject of changes until few days before the begin.
Workshop Highlights
Invited Speaker: Ms. Daisy Veitch, founder and CEO of SHARP Dummies (Australia)
SHARP Dummies was founded in Adelaide in 1999 by Ms Daisy Veitch, winner of the Australian Wool Corporation's Young Designer of the Year Award and the Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Award for Young Australians. Her experiences include all stages of garment production - from design to the finished product.
Along with running SHARP Dummies, Daisy is involved in a variety of projects, including lecturing in anthropometry and industrial design at the University of South Australia; consulting to Flinders Medical Centre; and guest lecturing and speaking to various charities. Daisy has also been engaged by the Australian government to write a report on the use of anthropometry by designers in the Australian workplace.
The workshop program features three presentations of Ms. Daisy Veitch with different topics related to medical applications, anthropometry and apparel.
Closing Session: moderated by Dr. Masaaki Mochimaru, director of DHRC-AIST (Japan)
The workshop concludes with a discussion on Standards for Validation Methods of 3D Body Scanners. The discussion during the closing session is moderated by Dr. Masaaki Mochimaru, deputy director of the Digital Human Research Center (DHRC) of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and chairman of the ISO Technical Commission TC159/SC3 on Ergonomics-Anthropometry and biomechanics.
Parallel technical exhibition
In the parallel technical exhibition, seven manufacturers and resellers of equipment demonstrate live their 3D body scanning systems and software solutions.
Different scanning technologies are represented: laser scanning, white light scanning, real-time scanning, etc.
Different systems will be shown: full body scanners, foot scanners, modular scanning systems, hand-held scanners and software solutions.
The attendees will have to possibility to test live the systems and to meet and discuss directly with the manufacturers and resellers.
International premieres
Worldwide public demonstration debut of the new low cost full body scanner KX-16 of [TC]²
[TC]² (USA) announced on February 29th the availability of its next generation full body scanner, the KX-16. It is a significant day in the history of 3D body scanning as the $10,000 price point is broken for the first time with a full body coverage, full featured, changing-room sized, color commercial body scanning product with worldwide availability. The KX-16 leverages the emergence of low cost 3D scanning sensors, like the Microsoft XBOX Kinect sensor which utilizes technology from Primesense Corporation.
Its worldwide public demonstration debut will take place at the exhibition of the Asian Workshop on 3D body scanning technologies.
VITRONIC presents the VITUS 3D Body Scanner in Japan - A precise 3D image in just 12 seconds
Reliable and highly accurate raw data is needed to use 3D images of a person or object, for example for body measurement. The VITUSsmart body scanner from VITRONIC generates an accurate 3D image during a scan of only 12 seconds. The VITUSsmart body scanner is used for manufacturing tailor-made garments, collectinge anthropometric data for medicine and orthopedics, assessing occupational groups and in support and training for athletes, as well as providing raw data for virtual reality projects. This broad application spectrum is made possible by the scanner's high accuracy, proven in studies, and its performance.
VITRONIC will present the VITUSsmart body scanner at the Asian Workshop on 3D Body Scanning Technologies.
