Kinect assists you for the perfect fashion fit
Who would have thought that something as simple as a video game controller like the Kinect could actually achieve far more than just letting you control your on-screen avatar? We are talking about the Kinect system making its way to the fashion industry, where Bloomingdale’s will offer customers the ability to step into a rather futuristic looking fitting room in order to select the right pair of jeans or the perfect blouse. Constructed by a company known as Bodymetrics (who debuted the machine in New Look at the Westfield Stratford shopping complex last year), the moment you step into the pod, it will rely on Kinect-powered sensors to create a 3D model of your body. Taking around 5 seconds to complete that process, it will then be able to draw upon its treasure trove of information in order to recommend certain brands and styles which will best fit your body. What do you think of having technology select your clothes for you? No matter how much technology does for you, it is still unable to guarantee a result that suits your taste in fashion.
