Inspiration## I
Most of us have experienced the disappointment when a piece of clothing we ordered doesn't fit even when we thought we had the right size, and then the hassle of going and returning it. We thought why not fix that with the emerging 3D scanner technology.
What it does
Perfect Fit has you go to a free kiosk conveniently located at your local shopping centre, chemist or post office, and scan yourself. This scan is saved to your personal account and your measurements are calculated from it. Online stores can request this data via an API & ensure you get a perfect fit. In turn the store is not burdened by the cost of returned items due to a bad fit.
How I built it
Current we have built a website for Perfect fit with user profiles, API documentation and FAQ information. An API for getting/posting measurement data has been developed. We have also developed a C++ program for taking certain points from a obj file of a human model and calculating measurements based on them.
Challenges I ran into
We have the issue of recognising various points on the body for measurements without the use of humans, as getting a computer to recognise certain segments of a body is a much larger problem than one that can be approached within a day.
What's next for Perfect Fit
Next we will be approaching the design of the 3D scanning technology and the recognition of body segments without the need for human input.
