Validation of the Artec Eva for Hand Anthropometric Data Collection

---

Abstract

As 3D technology rapidly improves, finely detailed areas of the human body, such as hands, are now able to be accurately scanned and measured. However, the accuracy of measurements for hands captured by 3D scanners has yet to be evaluated. This study evaluated the accuracy of measurements between specific hand landmarks when captured by the Artec Eva 3D scanner compared to traditional anthropometric measuring techniques. Results from the paired t-tests showed no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) in measurement for both hand breadth and index finger circumference, proximal for the Artec Eva when compared to traditional anthropometric measuring. However, hand length and hand thickness did show a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between the Artec Eva and traditional anthropometric measuring. The Artec Eva produced high-quality scans with good landmark and detail visibility, providing clear details that are needed to design better tools and products for hands.
