Abstract:
:Establishing the appropriate pressure exerted by the shoe upper over the foot surface is fundamental for the design of specific footwear, although measuring the dorsal pressures can also provide important additional information. In previous works, a virtual simulator to perform studies of comfort and functionality in CAD footwear design was presented. This paper describes the procedure carried out to obtain the foot animations used in this simulator. The virtual feet used in the simulator are feet without a standard form scanned in a static way. Their movements are rebuilt from the register of movements of several foot anatomical points during a complete step. The dorsal pressures exerted by some shoe uppers on these anatomical points were measured for several subjects and used to establish the viability of the use of these animations in a virtual simulator for footwear.
