The new technology can be used to try on clothes in online stores and custom tailoring them.
The resident firm of the Skolkovo Foundation has created a complex for color scanning of people that has no analogues in the world. The Russian development allows to form a 3D model of a person for a variety of applications - virtual fitting of clothes, making souvenir figurines, body identification, etc. Experts believe that in a few years many people will acquire 3D models of their bodies for various purposes.
Worldwide retail is moving online. For example, in the United States, visits to shopping centers have decreased several times in recent years. Last year alone, 24 major US brands have closed hundreds of stores. Ekaterina Ryzhkova, project manager of the information technology cluster of the Skolkovo Foundation, cited these statistics in an interview with Izvestia. In such circumstances, she believes, technological services that form the infrastructure of online sales are of paramount importance.
Skolkovo resident - Texel specializes in creating three-dimensional models of people. Having passed the scanning procedure once, a person receives an absolutely accurate electronic model of his body. It can be used, for example, to try on clothes in online stores. At the same time, neural networks and artificial intelligence will make it possible to develop recommendations for choosing a style, color, combination of clothing items, depending on the type of figure.
The Texel 3D scanner is a human-sized rotating frame. It is equipped with sensors-sensors and software developed by Russian specialists. The frame turns around the person in 30 seconds, the system processes the data for about a minute - and the three-dimensional avatar is ready.
According to the project manager Maxim Fedyukov, the established practice in the clothing industry - mass production of the same model - will become a thing of the past in the coming years. It will be replaced by individual tailoring of each item for a specific person using his avatar and a virtual fitting room. The International Commission for Standardization in this area, which includes Maxim Fedyukov, last year approved the format for presenting a 3D model of the human body. The next step is a similar development for clothing. After the adoption of these standards, the light industry around the world will be able to begin the transition to custom tailoring using avatars and electronic patterns.
