Abstract This paper presents a new method to capture and measure both static and dynamic anthropometric data of the population. This data can then be used for barrier-free home design based on a concept of ergonomic design with the movement. This new approach uses a 3D motion capture system as a tool to obtain information simultaneously on the basis of anthropometric analysis of body movement. This paper reports the experimental design of the system, data collection and analysis techniques on the movements of the body ...
