Ever wonder why, in an age of computer-aided design, digital human modeling and virtual prototyping, you still can't find the right adjustment to your car seat? Why some clothes fit so poorly? Dr. Gordon has over 20 years experience in Army ergonomics; she will discuss the good and not-so-good approaches designers take to accommodate body sizes and shapes in today's population.
