Skin and body simulation - technology enhancement and validation - phase IIb

该项目的目标是开发人体的软件和计算机模型。当人类与环境中的物理物体交互时，我们对皮肤和皮肤下的软组织的行为建模特别感兴趣。该项目建立在我们最近在模拟近距离接触的类似皮肤的材料和软组织方面的突破以及在该项目第一阶段开发的软件的基础上。在第二阶段，重点是增强软件，开发新的方法来为特定的个人定制模拟，并验证我们的计算机模拟所做的预测。本项目开发的人体模拟软件适用于产品与人体交互的广泛市场。应用范围从产品设计到人类健康，以及计算机生成的电影、视频游戏和虚拟现实中类似人类角色的动画。

The goal of this project is to develop software and computer models of the human body. We are particularly interested in modeling the behavior of skin, and the soft tissues underneath the skin, when humans interact with physical objects in their environment.The project builds upon our recent breakthroughs in simulating skin-like materials and soft tissues that move in close contact, and software developed during Phase I of this project. In Phase II, the focus is on enhancing the software, developing new methods to customize simulations to specific individuals, and validating the predictions made by our computer simulations.The human simulation software developed in this project is applicable in a wide range of markets whose products interact with the human body. Applications range from product design to human health, as well as computer generated animations of human-like characters in films, video games, and virtual reality.
