About the Research Project
SummitNext is coordinating a scientific study focused on the ergonomic design of head-worn devices (e.g. headphones VR headsets safety gear). The goal is to improve product fit and comfort for Southeast Asian populations. To achieve this we are collecting accurate 3D head shape data from a diverse group of individuals.
Your participation will directly contribute to future technology and product innovation.
