1.3 This standard provides syntax and semantics for describing 3D human body dimensions between apparel producers and 3D body scan developers. This standard also provides essential landmarks and body part identifier for describing enhanced body measurements. The file format for the 3D body scan data exchange file defined by this standard complies with Extensible Markup Language (XML) format.
Keywords
