Description:
Muybridge recorded motion of humans and animals in multiple photographs. These chrono-photographs are valuable works not only as a photo album, but also as a human database.
“The Human Figures of Japan” is based on ergonomic somatometry data of 25 Japanese men and women. These virtual human figures are synthesized by 3D digitizing data, motion-capture data, and multiple-angle photograph and video data. This human nude-figure database will be adapted to many fields of design work.
