Manikin or animal representation

摘要

A jointed manikin or animal representation comprises sensors 2, such as variable rheostats, in the joints which may be accessed through a multiplexer 4 and respective analogue to digital convertors 3 by a processor 5 which is operative to output a computer model of the manikin to a monitor screen 8 using a program relating to manikin data and a data bank 7. The manikin acts as an input device to control the manipulation of the computer model 7. The manikin may be two or three dimensional. Instead of a using a manikin, the sensors may be attached to limbs of the human anatomy.
