• Realistic kinematic properties (in recumbent or seated position, while walking
or running)
• Etc.

Human body models with these properties have been generated as described in
Chap. 2 (The New Approach: B OSS -Procedure) and will by referred to as B OSS -Models.

5.3.1 Procedure

The 3D acquisition of soft and hard tissue (cf. Sect. 5.1 ) can principally be per-
formed with imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or
