Research Abstract

We represented a virtual human soft body on Computer Graphics with measuring a human body in three-dimension and motion capturing with many markers. When the measuring, posture of human body is flat on back, prone, and side. We used the 3D data to assume shape of human body at zero gravity. We modeled a virtual human soft body with mass-spring model that movement is based on human's motion data.
