What do we do when we simply want
to try some clothes or buy a new one? We just go to garments shop and check on
every sample of clothing till we are satisfied. We try every type of cloth on our body and
finally come to a decision. But it is not necessary that the product that we
buy is the best for us as we may just settle on one due to less time or money
or maybe due to less variety.
Problem solver
These problems can be solved but the
thing is that we have to do things as fast as possible. It can be done with the
help of virtual technology or 3D technology. This technology has been developed
by a company called Body Labs. Body labs is a Manhattan based company which was
founded in 2013. They use artificial intelligence mixed with 3D technology to
virtually dress you up. They technically use “SOMA shape API” to predict the
persons measurement and create a 3D image. Their technology understands 3D body
shape and movement of the people from RGB photos or videos.
Recently amazon bought Body labs
for good amount of money. And now with the help of body labs they have patented
a technology called blended reality mirror. This mirror as told above uses 3D
technology and Artificial intelligence to place you in to a virtual world with
virtual clothes to try on you. It
measures your weight, height and postures to correctly fit the clothes from
their Amazon site.
Hardware used to help you
This technology makes the mirror to
be partially reflective as well as partially trans-missive with other displays,
cameras and projectors to create the 3D image that includes you as well as
virtual clothes. The reality mirror then scans the corresponding surrounding in
which we are standing using the camera and measures our whole body from tip to
toe. After that, the mirror transmittes the virtual clothes onto our body with
the correct measurements to create a virtual blended environment.
With this technology amazon is
trying to mark its place in the fashion industry and adding 3D technology and
AI into it is like icing on the cake.
