To fully generate the data provided by motion capture, it is not enough to be able to simulate the postures and movement. This would still require the designer to specify the motions the DHM should perform within the environment. Although this would reduce time and improve results, it should be possible to place the DHM into the environment with knowledge of the task and expect it to perform the task acting on its own, as a human participant would. In addition, such a model might provide tools for the analysis of cognitive issues relevant to the product and the environment.
