Blum's Age Explorer suit will simulate decreased mobility on test subjects at KBIS.
Blum Inc. announced it will hold demonstrations of its Age Explorer suit at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show on April 26 and 27.
At 11 a.m. each day, show attendees will have the chance to see Blum’s Age Explorer usability tests in the company's KBIS booth C5351.
The Age Explorer is a suit that enables the wearer to experience physical limitations in a realistic way. The suit simulates decreasing mobility due to the natural aging process or other physical limitations, allowing the test subject to feel how it affects daily kitchen work. Blum researchers use this suit to test all products for qualities related to ergonomics, motion and utilization, according to the company. Blum currently has 15 such suits that are being used for testing in 13 countries.
