Influential experts exchange knowledge during VIRTUAL workshop.


On 17 October 2018, VIRTUAL hosted an inspiring session on Open Source Human Body Model Development in Berlin. The workshop attracted over 40 international experts on human body modeling.

Five external experts were invited to give a short presentation on their experience on five subtopics:
  • Philippe Petit on HBM-scaling
  • Duane Cronin on modularity
  • Steffen Peldschus on validation of HBMs
  • John Combest on translation of HBMs
  • Hyung Yun Choi on simple and complex versions
In the final discussion we received a range of valuable advice and comments. University representatives were very grateful for our open source approach that provides them with easily accessible models that can be used in student projects.

About VIRTUAL - Human Body Model development

VIRTUAL aims to create a versatile basic model that allows for future refinements in an open source environment – which stakeholders from all over the world are welcome to use – to further develop the HBM. VIRTUAL will also create a sustainable web-based platform where the HBMs can be freely downloaded.

VIRTUAL encourages users to share their experience, model refinements and advice with the online community. Our long term goal is that we, together with the stakeholders, will jointly provide a HBM that can be morphed/scaled and is therefore suitable to represent any human length, gender, age, BMI, posture etc. The HBM will be divided into sections which allows users to refine one body section and then attach it to the full HBM.
