A squad of academics in Hong Kong have evolve a 3D human moulding app that could drastically change the way we shop online . Dubbed 1Measure , this “ one - click measure ” shaft let users to tape their torso measuring in a matter of second by upload two full - body photos .
After snapping ikon with both a front view and side view , the app use artificial intelligence to create a 3D digital fashion model of the drug user ’s body in under 10 seconds . Next to this image , over 50 size measurements are displayed , include everything from knee girth to articulatio humeri side . This selective information can be saved and access at a later date , and the app also lists your size in other countries , allowing you to shop for dress around the world with informality .
This revolutionary engineering science was developed by associate professor Tracy P.Y. Mok and PhD graduate Dr. Zhu Shuaiyin of the Institute of Textiles and Clothing at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University ( PolyU ) .
Other current engineering science are capable of carrying out similar modeling functions , but the PolyU team says these methods call for costly , bulky scanners , and their results are only approximate . The 1Measure app ’s gross profit margin of mistake is 1 cm for user photographed in tight - gibe clothes , and 2 centimeters for those in wanton - fitting wearing apparel , according to its developers .
The app is particularly utile when it hail to on-line shopping . Dr. Zhu saysthe technology “ frees us from the limitations imposed by taking organic structure measurements physically , helping customers to take the proper size in on-line clothing purchases . ”
The app can also store multiple measurement at once and track any changes that the physical structure undergoes , making it suited for those with fitness goals .
1Measure is complimentary to download and is presently uncommitted on theApp Storein both English and Chinese .
