Visual anthropometry software

PeopleSize 2008 is the latest version of the reference visual anthropometry software.

  • Uses the newest government height and weight data, from as recently as 2005-6.
  • The most up-to-date data available for Western populations. 
  • It is the largest dataset with 289 individual anthropometric dimensions (for UK & US adults), all updated to modern values.
  • The PeopleSize visual interface means you can find the data you need intuitively, with no learning curve.
  • There is a 60-day return guarantee.
  • Since 1994, PeopleSize is the anthropometric data the market leaders use.

It works like this...

Imagine your design being used, and click on the icons you "see" will be relevant -  the natural technique of visualisation.

The visual method means it is easy for anyone to find dimensions relevant to the design.

You don't need to know any obscure medical terminology or hunt through tables of data, and you're much less likely to miss data that is in fact there.
anthropometry selection icons
Each icon brings up a corresponding illustration.

You select anthropometry data by clicking on markers on the body drawings.

The triangles mark the measurement landmarks. 

As you float the cursor over them, the connected triangles turn green, showing the anthropometric dimensions available.
