About the Research Project

SummitNext is coordinating a scientific study focused on the ergonomic design of head-worn devices (e.g., headphones, VR headsets, safety gear). The goal is to improve product fit and comfort for Southeast Asian populations. To achieve this, we are collecting accurate 3D head shape data from a diverse group of individuals.

Your participation will directly contribute to future technology and product innovation.

Your Role as a Participant

We are inviting healthy adults to join a safe and quick 3D head-scanning session. The full process takes only 12-15 minutes, consisting of:

1. Registration & Briefing (2 minutes)

2. Basic Physical Measurements (3 minutes)

3. Preparation for Scanning (3 minutes)

   • You will be provided with a wig cap.

   • Small, temporary markings will be applied on your face and ears using a removable eyebrow pencil (washes off easily).

4. 3D Head Scanning (5 minutes)

   • Conducted using a handheld, state-of-the-art scanner.

   • Uses harmless blue light and is completely safe.
