Asian users experience poor fit in products used on the head, like helmets. The reason is that designers only use data from Western heads. To solve this problem, product designer and researcher Roger Ball set up the award winning SizeChina project, in which 2000 Chinese heads were scanned. On Tuesday May 17th he defends his PhD-thesis on this subject at the Delft University of Technology.
