Human Solutions, Bodymetrics Ships Virtual Try On
 KAISERSLAUTERN,
Munich, Germany, May 8, 2009 - Human Solutions and Bodymetrics unveil
solution that takes the hassle out, and puts the fun back, into jeans
shopping. No more endless trying on of jeans in a changing room.
Jeans are one of the most universal garments, but also one of the hardest
garments for a shopper to find their ‘perfect fitting’ jean. On average a
woman tries on 9 to 12 pairs of jeans in a changing room before they find a
pair that they like.
Using a customer's 3D body-scan data, the ‘Virtual Try On’ solution by
Human Solutions and Bodymetrics creates a personal avatar of the customer in
just a few seconds. Then, customers can try-on Jeans, on their own body,
‘virtually’ without going into a changing room. This service gives an
accurate picture on how a jean fits and ‘hangs on your body’; customers can
see whether a garment is too-loose, too-tight or just a perfect-fit. It is a
very realistic image of the garment, and a very realistic image of the
customer with accurate measurements and accurate capture of body-shape.
The system is now in use at Selfridges, Oxford Street, London, one of the
world’s most prestigious department stores. Apart from dramatically reducing
the time a customer spends in finding their perfect-fit jeans, jeans that
are featured on the system, on average, see a 19% increase in sales.
Bodymetrics also offers exclusive Made-to-Measure jeans at Selfridges
based on the INTAILOR solution by Human Solutions. After the body-scan, the
measurement data is automatically converted into data for the production of
‘patterns’ for made-to-measure jeans. Jeans can be ordered in a wide variety
of luxurious denim fabrics, cuts (e.g. drain-pipe), rises (e.g. low-rise)
and waist-bands (e.g. curved). Then, one can select pocket designs, thread
and rivet colors, and add personal touches such as names and initials. After
ordering, all data is transmitted directly to the systems of the
manufacturer.
