I have to run several simulation on which one of the entry data is the average (plus sigma) height of people at eye-level in two positions: Standing up and sitting down in an office chair.
Currently I have the average full height (plus sigma) of the population studied.
Any idea of how I can obtain those values ?
How do you think you can calculate this? I don't expect that there is a formula. How accurate should your value be?
You might need an anthropometric database where, e.g., either the vertical distance from the eyes to the ground or to the maximum bodhy height is given. Maybe this can be found in books or standards or it could also be recorded in Human Solution's iSize portal, which, however, is not for free.
Vertical distance upto eye level in both the posture (standing and sitting)
Here are some anthropometry for the head, indcluding nasal root - top of head distance. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/61/HeadAnthropometry.JPG
This can give some help at least to eye level in standing.
