    Basically, I am making a point of sale display for a game for my Graphics coursework. I need to write a conclusion based on ergonomics and anthropometrics. The results basically tell me the level of which the stand need to be in order for the customer to reach it comfortably. E.g how high it has to be - it can't be too high or they can't reach it, it can't be too low of they would have to kneel down. I need the actual measurements of this for a teenager. Does any one know where I can get this ergonomics and anthropometrics data in a form of a diagram with measurements?
    Its something like this one:

    I've done the height and arm measurement but I can't find the eye level. As in what degrees it got to be.

    this uses a sitting position for its diagrams, but i would think that the same ergonomic setup can be used for someone who is standing.

    There is a great deal of cited material in this article, and overall it would suggest that a downward gaze is optimal.

    Thanks a lot. Its not the diagram I need but it has the measurements I need. I'll draw the diagram myself.
