Anthropometry - 2

The Need for Anthropometry
- We are not all the same size.
  - If systems were designed to fit only one person, the few if any would be able to use the system.
- Poor design for mechanical abilities of the human body can lead to discomfort or injury, e.g., the height of keyboard for a computer.
