Abstract
From the early development phases of a new industrial product, realistic simulations can be performed in a virtual environment to study the human-machine interaction. In a virtual lab, it is possible to perform experiments to assess the ergonomics of the new product using mannequins simulating the human body, and to deal with the problem of anthropometric variation.
