Meaning and scope

Definition

Standing pose is a static human body arrangement with weight on the feet and torso upright. It does not determine emotion, person attributes, occupation, place, or clothing.

In more detail

A view showing feet, legs, torso, and balance makes standing legible. Locomotion such as walking or running, facial expression, and scene meaning are separate choices.

Includes

  • A static standing position of one person with weight on the feet

Excludes

  • Locomotion such as walking or running
  • Sitting or reclining
  • A particular emotion or occupation

What this does not imply

  • Emotion
  • personality
  • occupation
  • place
  • or clothing

Variability

Leg spacing and arm position can be adjusted separately. Keep the full body unobscured.

Usage and adjustments

Usage

  • Use a view where full body and balance are legible

Distinguish similar expressions

  • Use walking when locomotion is wanted

Typical uses

  • Show a person's static full-body arrangement

Possible failure modes

  • Feet or balance are hidden and standing is unreadable
  • Joints or balance become unnatural
