In this research, we propose a method for estimating contact region by computer simulation. The actual contact region was measured by hand print papers, while the contact region was estimated by detecting collision between the individual hand model and the product model. It was found from the result that the contact region estimated by computer simulation overall agreed with the actual contact region. However, since the individual hand model penetrate into the product model, contact region around soft part of the hand was overestimated. In contrast the contact region by computer simulation was underestimated around the joints, because of collapse by flexing the individual hand model.
