This document specifies best practices for considering body size and shape (anthropometry) in design. Since most products, tasks, and environments interact with multiple user attributes at the same time, multivariate design techniques are necessary to obtain accurate accommodation estimates. Although the approach outlined can also incorporate user preference unrelated to anthropometry, the focus in this document is on “fit” and the spatial accommodation of users.
