scope:

This International Standard defines the terms used to describe the virtual human body which is used in virtual garment systems. Specifically virtual landmarks and virtual body dimensions are described. This international standard mainly deals with vocabulary and terminology of essential virtual body dimensions of the virtual torso, arm, leg, head, face, hands and bones and joints of virtual human body. Since there are many landmarks on the head and hand, landmarks on these parts are defined separately from those on other parts of the body. This international standard is intended for developers of virtual garment systems. Although this international standard does not aim at users of virtual human body in online communication, the improved reliability of virtual human body will benefit them.
