Ergonomics Considerations for Proximity Warning …

Anthropometric Considerations. Placement of wearable sensor will influence protection. Head-mounted sensor could be 6+ ft away from lower legs. Low seam mines will potentially increase sensitivity since more varied postures are expected. Depending on interaction required, placement will influence visual information transmission.
