The agriculture population contract involves the development of a 3D scanned and traditional measurement database for farm tractor enhancement. Managed the 1988 ANSUR survey that led to the creation of anthropometric techniques and methodology, which have become standards in the field. Designed and directed several specialized anthropometric surveys, including the measuring and scanning of school children’s heads, a survey of school bus drivers, and a survey of luxury car buyers. Participated in the human-centered design efforts that led to the development of successful sizing systems for the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Forestry Service and a number of commercial concerns.

The ARN sponsored a number of projects aimed at extracting useful information from the Cyberware WB4 scanner.
