Several articles before, the editor staff of Solo Abadi discussed about the application of a number of anthropometric measurements such as hands, head, glabella, to biacromial. On this occasion, we will thoroughly explore the anthropometric measurement of eye height and its application. But first, let’s understand what anthropometry is and the dimensions of measuring eye height!
What is Anthropometry?
Anthropometry is the study of the dimensions of the human body. In terms, the word anthropometry is an absorption from the Greek language, namely anthro which means human and metri which means size. So it can be said that anthropometry has a close relationship with the measurement of the human body.
The dimensions of the human body or anthropometry have a wide range, to facilitate learning the anthropometry section is classified into 3 positions. The anthropometric measurement positions include the face area, sitting position, and standing position.
In this article, we will learn more about measuring eye height. Eye height itself is usually measured in a sitting position and also standing to determine the distance from the eye to the floor / ground.
Eye Height Measurement Dimension
As previously mentioned, eye height measurement is usually practiced in a sitting and standing position. Eye height is measured vertically from the floor to the eye or more specifically the part of the eye called the inner canthus / edge of the eye.
Although not often mentioned, the eye itself has dimensions that are crucial for product design purposes. One of them is the inner canthus, this part is the inner canthus. Canthus is the corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet. More specifically, the inner and outer canthi, respectively, are the medial and lateral ends of the palpebral fissure.
Body eye height with sitting eye height has the same principle and purpose of measurement but the measurement distance is different. Eye height (measured by standing position) is measured from the floor to the inner canthus while sitting eye height is measured by sitting from the base of the seat to the inner canthus. The measurement application is also different, on this occasion the editor of Solo Abadi will discuss the application of eye height in a standing position first.
The Application of Eye Height Measurement
The eye height measurement results are used as a reference for the manufacture of the product, serve as a reference datum for the location of the visual display, the ‘reach’ dimensions for the line of sight, determine the maximum acceptable visual barrier height. Mainly the distance and line of sight of humans when standing.
Systems that rely on eye height measurements are one of the considerations, including the room design work system. The principle of measuring eye height is needed in designing the main room, workspace or classroom. Laying a whiteboard or screen projector requires an estimation of eye height or eye height. Products such as flagpoles also require the principle of eye height in a standing position. Because in practice humans look up and salute the flag at the end of the pole, so paying attention to the estimation of one’s visibility is needed.
Other products, such as eye-supporting glasses with minus or plus lenses, need to pay attention to the principle of measuring eye height in both sitting and standing positions. Because everyone has a different eye height.
The Most Accurate Anthropometric Measuring Tool
The results of anthropometric measurements in measuring eye height or eye height in a standing position must be accurate and precise. Therefore, a measuring instrument is needed that supports these accurate results. Here is a selection of the best measuring tools that can be used:
Portable Anthropometry Kit for University
Metrisis – Portable Anthropometry produced by Solo Abadi Indonesia is an anthropometric measuring instrument derived from the anthropometric chair which is packaged in a portable form, so that the measuring instrument can be moved or carried anywhere easily. Like an innovation, portable anthropometry can be used to measure up to more than 100 dimensions of the human body.
The function of this tool is to carry out anthropometric measurements that are carried out carefully and prioritize the accuracy of the data. This instrument offers measurement capabilities of up to 100 measurements. In addition, its portable form makes this tool can be used unlimited time and done anywhere.
Anthropometric kits from SOLO ABADI have been sent to various departments in Indonesia. Currently, 8 Portable Anthropometry kits from SOLO ABADI have been used, one of which is the Department of Medicine, Islamic University of Indonesia. The following are the details of the Anthropometry Portable Kit product.
