With the growing use of ICT, use of digital humans is spreading, raising many research questions in disciplines from engineering to design, including computer and medical sciences. It additionally involves an impact on society. IJDH publishes original research in all fields of the digital human such as modelling, simulation, anatomy, physiology visualisation, animation, product/workplace design, biomechanics, biomedical engineering and interaction with humans. It considers application-oriented and theoretical papers, literature reviews, papers on methodology and procedures, and experimental research results.

Topics covered include

  • Agent-based modelling and virtual human society
  • Anthropometrics, surface/3D anatomy, 4D physiology
  • Antropomorphic, human-like characteristics in computing
  • Artificial intelligence and digital humans
  • Bibliometric analysis and systematic review
  • Comfort and fit modelling
  • Database, data mining, data visualisation
  • Digital humans and games
  • Digital human-human interaction
  • Ergonomic assessment, sizing and grading in product design
  • Human-robot collaboration, digital humans and society
  • Modelling 3D human dynamics, simulation; transportation and manufacturing applications
  • Posture and motion prediction, biomechanics, computational modelling
  • Smart human-centred service system design
  • Virtual product design, testing/evaluation

Objectives

The objectives of IJDH are to create a platform where researchers, scientist, practitioners and industrialists can communicate, promote and coordinate the developments of digital humans in society. The journal provides a channel for people from multiple disciplines to have a common goal to advance the development of digital human research.

Readership

IJDH provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, researchers, doctors and industrialists working in the fields of digital humans, product design and evaluation, game design, animation and visualisation to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.

Contents

IJDH publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports and case studies. Special Issues devoted to important topics will occasionally be published.
