27. Use of Anthropometric Data
Determine relevant dimension / parameter
Define user population
Select range of users to be accommodated
Extract data from appropriate source
Apply correction factors
Apply dimension to design

28. Design for Clearance/Accommodation
Design for the Large Person (Let the large person fit.)

29. Design for Reach / Accessibility
Design for the Small Person
(Let the small person reach.)

30. Design for Adjustability
Design for Everyone

31. Other Design
Design for
the Average Person

32. Design Principles
Design for the large person (clearance/accommodation)
Let the large person fit.
Design for the small person (reach/accessibility)
Let the small person reach.
Design for the average person
Design for adjustability
