Abstract

Anthropometric study is one of the oldest branch of study in ergonomics where it serves a purpose in study of proportion and size for human body. One of the common method used in anthropometric measurement is traditional measurement or direct measurement. However, Malaysia is still behind compared to other Asian country in development of national anthropometric database. In addition, researchers in Malaysia are still rely in traditional anthropometric measurement. There are several important factor that contribute to problem in traditional anthropometric such posture, identification of landmarks, instrument position and orientations, and pressure exerted due to measuring equipment. In view of the fact that the difficulties of obtaining human anthropometry, it becomes necessary to propose method which has less contact perform on respondent. This study aims to propose new anthropometric measurement method using motion capture camera method, hence develop database for UTeM FKP male population. Validity and reliability of data obtain from the motion capture camera need to be check whether it achieve the ‘gold standard’ set by traditional anthropometric measurement. It is important to know the capability of the motion capture camera before deciding on human body dimension that need to be measured. Lot of referencing from the literature review has been made referred to help author to understand more on anthropometric and motion capture camera. Anthropometric data for UTeM FKP male students that has successfully been constructed can be utilized to eliminate or minimize mismatch between student and their study environments.
