Abstract
Three‐dimensional (3‐D) body scans of golfers in active positions were used to generate a simulation of UV exposure by projecting a cone from the brims of a selection of five hat styles with different brim designs onto the body from two sun angles. From these scans, researchers measured the total body area that would be protected from UV exposure by calculating the surface area shadowed by the hat brims. Objective measurement data can provide valuable measures of protection to help the designer create attractive and functional hats and clothing for sun protection. The 3‐D scanner is an important new tool for designers that allow visualization and manipulation of 3‐D images and sophisticated image measurement and analyses.
