Exploration of this activity may include:

• Identify and classify types of 3D body processing technologies
• Identify and classify use cases of 3D body processing
• Identify gaps in existing nascent standards and recommended practices as 3D body processing spreads beyond first adopters
• Identify need and propose PARs for new standards and best practices for 3D body processing and adjacent technologies (like 2D augmented reality)

• IEEE Industry Connections (IEEE-IC) 3D Body Processing (3DBP) Initiative - An Introduction 
  This white paper introduces the background, goals, and status for the IEEE 3D body processing (3DBP) initiative. This initiative was launched in the first quarter of 2016 with an initial focus on exploring technology standardization opportunities for hardware and software technologies across the 3D body processing pipeline; i.e., from scanning of people and creating body model data to simulating, modeling, analytics, and visualization. Click here to download
• IEEE Industry Connections (IEEE‐IC) Landmarks and Measurement Standards Comparison in 3D Body‐model Processing 
  This white paper reviews the current standards landscape for three‐dimensional body scanning, body landmarking, and measuring. International standards are compared and recommendations are made for a minimal set of landmarks and measurements (L&M) needed for several industrial use cases of 3D Body Processing such as fit and size estimation, retail, clothing manufacturing, CAD tool developers, and body model storage and service. Click here to download
• IEEE Industry Connections (IEEE‐IC) Personalized Digital Last (a Women’s Example)—The Tool Required to Enable Mass Customization 
  This white paper examines the development of a personalized digital last and the impact on the role of footwear technicians. As the personalized digital last becomes the basis of future footwear production, the role of footwear technicians may expand to include a broader definition of fit, maintaining libraries of different lasts, and maintaining quality safeguards for mass customized of footwear. Click here to download
