Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marker-based and markerless systems are used for capturing subject motion during a motor task to create, or integrate and/or interact with, a digital human model.
Digital human modeling is the science of representing humans with their physical properties, characteristics, and behaviors in computerized, virtual models. Motion capture technologies (e.g., markers and markerless) can be used to create these models or to interact with and/or be integrated into those models.
Digital human models serve a wide range of practical purposes across various fields (medicine, health, space, automotive, industry, sport, and fashion, etc.) and applications.
Aspects of design and/or ergonomics evaluation and optimization, simulation and analysis, training, education, and/or gamification using motion capture technologies will be taken into consideration. Together with these aspects, modeling techniques and algorithms, combined with cutting-edge technologies, will be important assets for exploring innovation through this Special Issue.
By encompassing these aspects and promoting collaboration across diverse fields, this Special Issue has the potential to contribute significantly to the advancement of digital human modeling and its applications using motion capture technologies.
We aim to represent human characteristics and behaviors accurately. Furthermore, we hope that this Special Issue will drive innovation in areas such as anthropometry, design, biomechanics, ergonomics, simulation, training, and education across diverse fields and applications.
The exchange of knowledge and ideas across disciplines can lead to breakthroughs and discoveries that benefit research and society as a whole. By fostering this interdisciplinary approach, this Special Issue can serve as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and professionals interested in the practical applications and future developments of digital human modeling using motion capture technologies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
