The primary resources are AnthroKids a freely available data collection of the only survey of anthropometric measurements of children ever taken in the United States and AnthroGloss (head and body) a VRML based 3D access mechanism for anthropometric landmark names.

AnthroKids - web based access to a 1975 and 1977 survey of children in the United States. Raw data for 1977 study also available.
AnthroGloss - a VRML based mechanism for the display of anthropometric landmarks.
Anthropometric Landmarks of the Head - an award winning VRML based mechanism for the display of anthropometric landmarks of the human head.
CAESAR Viewer - an experimental VRML viewer of CAESAR 3D body scans with automated viewpoint generation of landmarks.
CAESAR Animation - examples of segmented CAESAR models with conversion to HANIM animated models.
ply2mat - a ply file (CAESAR format) importer to MATLAB
experimental VRML visualizations; 4 bodies (large download); - experimental VMRL, autogenerated Viewpoints
