Topshop’s Kinect Fitting Room
Posted on 10. May, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry in Technology
If, like us, you’ve been wondering about the real practical value of all of this augmented reality stuff – Topshop have used AR to turn a shopping experience into a Sims game.
Now you don’t have to actually try on any item clothing, you can just hold the AR code close to your body and a machine will do all the fantasizing for you.
It saves loads of time at least that you can rather spend playing with your Car magazine augmented reality cover at the office.

It certainly seems like it’ll get more volumes of people trying stuff on in less time without actually touching and soiling the garments.

I am using Augmented Reality in a practical (and similar way to the above) at my online store, http://www.Boutique Accessories.com.au. It allows customers to “try on” jewellery in real time using their webcam before they buy.
It is my way of closing the gap between online shopping and highstreet shopping.
Jonathan, I would like invite you to try the “Virtual Mirror” for yourself if it’s of interest to you?

Even though it can never replace the real thing, that is seriously cool and innovative.
I am sure that if this catches on and the software improves to really fit, then that would definitely be a huge time saver.
