“…Further details about the project as a whole can be read in Porter et al (2004) and Sims et al (2006). However, a key part of the research was the collection of anthropometric data from the participants to allow the creation of 3D human models of individual participants within a digital human modelling system.…”

“…The objectives of the study were to collect data from a wide range of people to investigate transport usage. This included collecting data from older and physically impaired people as well as others who experience problems using public transport, including collecting anthropometric data so that the participants could be recreated as digital human models in a virtual environment (Porter et al, 2004). These data were to be used to allow estimation of which individuals within a computer-based design tool would be able to complete tasks within a virtual environment, to support and promote a 'design for all' methodology.…”

With advances in technology it is now possible to collect a wide range of anthropometric data, to a high degree of accuracy, using 3D light-based body scanners. This gives the potential to speed up the collection of anthropometric data for design purposes, to decrease processing time and data input required, and to reduce error due to inaccuracy of measurements taken using more traditional methods and equipment (anthropometer, stadiometer and sitting height table). However, when the data collection concerns older and/or physically impaired people there are serious issues for consideration when deciding on the best method to collect anthropometry. This paper discusses the issues arising when collecting data using both traditional methods of data collection and a first use by the experimental team of the TC 2 3D body scanner, when faced with a 'non-standard' sample, during an EPSRC funded research project into issues surrounding transport usage by older and physically impaired people.

“…Deliverables from this project will include a "life-long kitchen guide" of advice and recommendations for older people to make their kitchens easier to use, as well as archive materials on the changing nature of kitchen usage during the life course. The EQUAL project resulted in the development of HADRIAN (Porter et al, 2004), a computer-based design tool, and the development of a website of the data collected, to be made available to all interested people in 2011.…”

“…As a result of this survey activities in the kitchen were found to be a source of quality of life issues for older and disabled people (Oliver et al, 2001;Porter et al, 2004). A second study, conducted in 2010 as part of the Transitions in Kitchen Living project (TiKL), funded by the New Dynamics of Ageing Programme (ESRC) aimed to provide a historical understanding of the physical/material, social and psychological environment of the kitchen guided by life events, as well as a contemporary understanding of the current kitchen examining role, function and design Maguire et al, 2011).…”

Purpose – This paper aims to present the quantitative results based on a comparison and evaluation of older people's experiences, needs and wants from their current kitchens, combining and comparing the results obtained from two studies conducted in 2000 and 2010 to see what progress has been made. Design/methodology/approach – A study in 2010 investigated the life-long and contemporary experiences of kitchens of 48 people aged over 60 years of age. The research included detailed questionnaire interviews asking people about their experiences of living in their current kitchen. A previous study, conducted in 2000, asked many of the same questions of 22 people in the same age group. Findings – By combining and comparing the two sets of data it seems that only limited progress has been made in terms of kitchen design meeting the needs of older people between 2000 and 2010. Research limitations/implications – Owing to the small sizes of the samples it is not possible to compare the figures statistically or present them as fully representative of the British older population but while the two samples are limited both had similar characteristics of age and gender, so differences do show potential trends over time. Practical implications – The research refers to guidance and a computer based design tool and identifies a number of practical implications for design. Social implications – As people age their abilities and needs can change and their kitchen may no longer be as accessible or appropriate to their needs. Originality/value – This paper adds to the relevant guidance for designers, developers and managers of buildings where the continued personal use of a kitchen is important for continuing independence of older people

“…This approach also directly supports the use of human modelling. An individual can easily be recreated when stored in this manner, thus addressing a fundamental issue with existing data, where a human model would have to be reconstructed from a highly decomposed set of measures from which the variability of real people is difficult to capture [8].…”

Abstract. Human modelling tools provide a means to perform virtual task evaluations upon designs within the computer environment. The ability to evaluate the accommodation of a design early on in the design process before physical prototypes can be built has many advantages. These advantages are particularly relevant in supporting people in attempting to design products that are inclusive and accessible. HADRIAN is a new tool developed to provide accessible, and applicable data on people with a broad range of size, age, and ability together with a means of optimising virtual task evaluations. This paper describes the use of HADRIAN in performing a task evaluation, focusing on the underlying methodology that aims to achieve a virtual simulation that mimics a real world user trial.
