3D Body Scanning
Select are the leading company in the UK for 3D scanning and Sizing Surveys having measured over 25,000 men, women and children for clients such as Next and M&S over the past twelve years.
Select also managed recruitment for Size UK, The UK National Sizing Survey for the nation's retailers and since completion of that project in 2002, have focussed on use of 3D scanners for obesity measurement in healthcare.
Select have been pioneering research on the Body Volume Index as an alternative to Body Mass Index. BVI, using 3D scanners is specifically designed to calculate the risk factors associated with a person's shape, gleaned from where the weight is on their body by using part-body volume analysis.
We are currently pioneering the development of BVI through our Body Benchmark research project www.bodybenchmark.org and this two-year initiative currently involves the recruitment and measurement of children.
