Eye Body Centre Distance
The distance from the eyes to the center of the body.
EyeBodyCentreDistance
How to measure
Application
Used in ergonomic modelling and vehicle design to determine the horizontal offset between the eye position and the body centreline, relevant for sightline and reach zone calculations.
Posture
Stand upright, arms at the sides.
Landmark
Measured horizontally from the outer corner of the eye to the midline of the body — approximately half the chest depth from the front surface of the torso — at the same height as the eye.
Tool
Tape measure.
Assistance
A second person should identify the body midline and hold the tape end in place.
Common mistake
Measuring to the front surface of the torso rather than the midline gives a shorter and incorrect result.
