Kinect for Windows helps pick clothes

For many of us, the selection of suitable clothing is a problem: you can not always find your favorite jeans or cardigan, which are suitable in all respects for a particular person. You have to wear a few things before you find the right one. High technology promises to solve this problem. The other day, Bloomingdales has opened a “fitting room” booth for its visitors, where you don’t need to wear anything. Rather, you need to undress.

The system presented by Bloomingdales, developed by Bodymetrics. Entering a special room, you undress, stand in the center, and wait. At this time, eight Kinect (Kinect for Windows) scan the human body, creating its exact three-dimensional "picture". After all the parameters have been removed, and the three-dimensional model of the body is created, the selection of a suitable thing for the size begins. So far, the search is conducted only among jeans (hi-tech fitting room is available from March 15 to March 18, at this time Bloomingdale's Denim Days are usually held).

Interestingly, the parameters of the customer's body remain in the memory of the system, so that next time the virtual fitting will be faster. True, and so it all happens quite quickly: on average, in 5 seconds everything is measured. True, jeans are chosen not by a computer, but by a stylist of the company, who finds clothes that are completely suitable for the client. All this is only a working concept. The company's management believes that in the near future, all clothes will be begging in a similar way.

Everything will be personalized, and choosing the right thing will take literally minutes. Large clothing companies have long been looking for methods that can help customers select clothes for themselves. It is likely that such fitting rooms here in 3-5 years will be installed in most large clothing stores. So shopping is becoming more modern.
