Anthropometry

How do we measure?

When we want to design or improve a product, we first need to consider how we interact with it and what body parts we use when doing so. Take your mobile phone: the width of it needs to comfortably sit in your hand, with a touchscreen size that you can operate with your thumb, and the length of the phone for you to listen to a call and speak into the microphone. These sizes are all dictated by the human body.
