The idea to create a virtual mirror for fashion originates from early 2012. Recognizing the potential of the Microsoft Kinect sensor, a competitor survey was started to find their status and used technologies. During this survey it was found that the competitors were all pure players in one of the following segments:
- Full body scanning to capture dimensions
- Size-less projection of cloths on video image of customer
- Virtual try-on cloths on avatar, where size needs to be entered manually
Emaldo is realizes a 3d scan of a customer at home, shows this person on a TV-screen, let the person move using the Microsoft Kinect skeleton tracker to realize a virtual mirror and let the customer try-on cloths to check style and fit.
