Anthropometrics

Anthropometrics is a big, fancy word that means measuring people's bodies to learn about their size and shape. Just like how you might measure your height and weight at the doctor's office, anthropometrics use special tools and techniques to measure other things, too!

For example, anthropometrists might measure your arm length or the size of your head. They can even measure things like how far apart your eyes are or the length of your fingers! All of these measurements can help scientists and designers understand how people are built and how things should be designed to fit them best.

Think about it like trying on a new piece of clothing. If the clothes are too big or too small, they won't fit you right and might not look good on you. Anthropometrics is like learning how to make clothes that fit just right for different people. It's all about understanding how people's bodies are different and making things that work well for everyone.
