Shoppers generally flock to malls during the holidays, although in recent years many have taken to shopping online instead.
Yet, buying apparel from a website can cause problems finding the right size, look and fit for your body type and personal tastes. As a result, several technology companies have created new ways for people to size themselves up at home.
Fits.me uses robotic mannequins with dimensions similar to a shopper’s in a sort of virtual fitting room. “Robots are a fantastic tool to see how garments look on differently-sized human bodies”, said Heikki Haldre, co-founder and CEO.
Each garment is photographed 2,000 times, accounting for the permutations of body measurements that the robots morph into.
Fits.me is currently being used by retailers such as Thomas Pink and Ermenegildo Zegna.
