Designing a workplace for workers with motion disability with computer simulation and virtual reality techniques

摘要

This paper describes preliminary results of a project aimed at adapting workplaces for workers with motion disability through computer simulation and virtual reality techniques. For this task, a computer generated human model with a visualization of maximal arm reach and preferred working space was developed. Custom-made software was used to create a virtual working space, to adjust the human model's measurements and constraints to reflect a disabled person, and to analyze necessary modifications. An immersive virtual reality environment was used to assess a modified workplace and to add further modifications.
