percentile and 95th percentile♂
Consideration of the sitting contour
Simulation of a sitting position that is
as realistic as possible.
Target:
• Check dimensions to describe the
impression of space, as well as the knee and
foot space at a certain seat pitch
• Define comparability between different seat
types.
