SittingEyeHeight
How to measure
Application
Used in vehicle dashboard design, workstation monitor placement, and theatre sightline planning to position displays at the correct height for seated users.
Posture
Sit upright on a firm, flat surface. Look straight ahead at the horizon.
Landmark
Measured from the seat surface to the outer corner of the eye.
Tool
Tape measure.
Assistance
A second person should confirm the head is level and mark the eye height on a wall before measuring.
Common mistake
Looking at a phone or screen tilts the head down and reduces the result. Look straight ahead.
