abstract: "<p>This dataset contains a dense 3D pressure discomfort threshold (PDT) map of the human head, face and neck of a mixed population (n=28), mapped on an average head model of all the participants. Datasets on nonNormalised and Normalised are available.</p>
<p>To aid designers and engineers, this PDT is also mapped on the human head Statistical Shape Model (SSM) (from Principal Component 1 to PC50, ±3σ) built on the CAESAR 3D Anthropometric Database (USA, Italy and The Netherlands, male and female, 18-65y, n=4309).</p>
<p>Files are available as *.vtk for further analysis, and as *.obj for further use as reference models for design engineering in e.g. CAD.</p>"
