Chinese adults
Head and face variation
Head width, length, facial proportions, and population-specific reference forms for product sizing.
Asian Ergonomics Design Laboratory
Human factors and ergonomics for design that fits Asian bodies, contexts, and futures.
AED Lab applies anthropometry, 3D digital human modelling, usability research, AI-assisted design, and human factors knowledge to support better products and environments.

SizeChina
head and face shape database and tools
From measured bodies to validated product parameters.
AED Lab's technical value is the conversion of anthropometric data into shape models, CAD constraints, prototypes, and fit or comfort validation.

Target populations
Human variation is the design input.
The lab's work should not read as a generic AI or design portfolio. Its evidence starts with specific users, body regions, and measurable fit or perception variables.
Chinese children
Growth and comfort
Children's head and face dimensions connected to eyewear, face-related products, and comfort evaluation.
Head, face, and ear users
Contact-point fit
Ear contours, nose bridge, facial landmarks, pressure regions, and product-body interface geometry.
Healthcare and older users
Usability and movement
Range of motion, task performance, perceived safety, and comfort in healthcare or assistive contexts.
Research
Design evidence from bodies, behavior, and computation.
We focus on physical and cognitive ergonomics including anthropometry, 3D digital human modeling, CAD/CAM/CAE, statistical modeling, usability testing, HCI, human robot interaction, AI in design, safety, and healthcare.
Anthropometry and fit
Head, face, ear, and body data for products that fit real users.
Digital human modeling
3D statistical models and parametric methods for design evaluation.
Human interaction
Usability, trust, wayfinding, mobile interfaces, robots, and AI agents.
People
A research group spanning ergonomics, design, computation, and healthcare.

Recruitment
We are looking for PhD students, postdoctoral fellow/research associates/research assistants, and student helpers. If you are interested, please send your CV to yan.luximon@polyu.edu.hk for consideration.
Products and tools
Research outcomes made tangible: forms, references, applications, and design tools.
The first-ever 3D digital database of Chinese head and face shapes.
SizeChina supports manufacturers and designers with practical, scientifically grounded design tools for Asian fit products across optical, medical, sports, and entertainment industries.

Research translation
From lab methods to a PolyU start-up.
Sizefit is presented separately from SizeChina because it is a technology-transfer and entrepreneurship outcome, not simply part of the database project.
2023 PolyU Start-up
Sizefit Technology Limited
PolyU KTEO describes Sizefit as a start-up using AI technology developed from AidLab to create custom headwear products from generated 3D heads, with early focus on children's eyewear and specialized frames for special needs and disfigurements.
- Focus
- Custom headwear, children's eyewear, and specialized frames.
- Team listed by KTEO
- Yan Luximon, See Jun Hong, and Zhang Jie.
