Interaction Between Computer Models of Face and Mask

Fit and comfort are so important to ensure a proper operation of a mask and so any new mask design has to be tested on a large number of volunteers. As the Army strives to become more representative of the American population in its gender and racial content, it is also possible that some part of the Army population may not be afforded adequate protection with masks of one standard size of any design. GESAC proposes to Integrate various elements of computer modelling and scanning technologies with the aim of developing a procedure to design, test and manufacture masks. The final goal of this project is to develop a mask design, testing and manufacturing technology which will make it possible for the Army to obtain protection of its soldiers at a reduced cost in a timely manner.
