Reconstruction of Digital Hand Models for Individuals by Using Motion Capture System

Abstract

Our research purpose is to develop a system for ergonomic design, which enables an ergonomic evaluation for various products without “real” subjects and physical mockups by integrating a digital hand with a product model. In this paper, we propose a new method of hand model reconstruction for individuals. This method reconstructs an initial surface skin mesh and a link structure model of the hand for an individual by using the motion capture system.
