Abstract

Modern design evaluation technologies based on human figure simulations are helping us to make fuller and more accurate assessments of human/machine and workplace interfaces. As computer graphics and related digital technologies advance, one will be able to illustrate, predict, evaluate, and document a wider array of human performance issues involving system useability concurrently with design development. The Design Evaluation for Personnel, Training, and Human Factors (DEPTH) program is developing and integrating many of these technologies for engineering applications. This paper provides an overview of current and planned DEPTH technology developments
