Designing emergency-medical-service helicopter interiors using virtual manikins

IEEE Comput Graph Appl. 2014 Mar-Apr;34(2):16-23. doi: 10.1109/MCG.2014.26.

Abstract

Researchers employed digital manikins to determine the space necessary in an emergency-medical-service helicopter to effectively and efficiently conduct life-saving medical procedures. To simulate resuscitation with appropriate digital human models, they used Anthropos ErgoMAX modeling software in the 3D Studio Max environment.
