Create an ergonomic human model posture and control the computer-aided design environment using a natural user interface

摘要

A computer receives a set of spatial coordinates from a motion-sensing input device, the spatial coordinates describing a position of at least one joint of a limb of a human model. The computer sends the set of spatial coordinates to a computer-aided design application (132), the computer-aided design application (132) representing movements of the ergonomic manikin (150) based on changes in limb angles described by a plurality of instances of angle data. The computer receives angle specifications from a computer-aided design application (132), the angle specifications corresponding to an angle of the limb in at least one three-dimensional plane. The computer converts the set of spatial coordinates to angle data in accordance with the received angle specifications, the angle data describing positioning of the limb.
