1. A method for using a computer system to design a human interacting physical device, comprising:
- electronically receiving, by a computer system, data defining characteristics of at least a portion of a first device to be formed or modified, wherein the data is received from one or more sensors mounted to a second device, and wherein the data relates to one or more specific human bodies;
searching, by the computer system and based on the received data, one or more digital libraries for an object corresponding to the first device, and retrieving at least a shape characteristic and a material constituency characteristics associated with the object;
evaluating, by the computer system and based on the received data, whether the shape characteristic or the material constituency characteristic of the object requires adaptation in order to produce the first device;
determining, by the computer system, whether the shape characteristic or the material constituency characteristic of the object requires adaptation to be an optimized design for the first device;
upon the shape characteristic or the material constituency characteristic of the object requiring adaptation, simulating, by the computer system and based on the received data, one or more changes in the shape characteristic and one or more changes in the material constituency characteristic of the object;
storing, by the computer system, object design characteristics comprising at least one of the simulated changes in the shape characteristic or in the material constituency characteristic of the object in the one or more digital libraries; and
generating a design for the first device based upon the stored object design characteristics.
