Diversity of thought in industrial design is crucial: If no one thinks to design a technology for multiple body types, people can get hurt. The invention of seatbelts is an oft-cited example of this phenomenon, as they were designed based on crash dummies that had traditionally male proportions, reflecting the bodies of the team members working on them.
The same phenomenon is now at work in the field of motion-capture technology. Throughout history, scientists have endeavored to understand how the …
