Welcome to the future of trying on jeans: instead of stepping into a dressing room with a pair you think will fit, you’ll instead enter the fitting room of tomorrow, equipped with a ring of eight Kinect sensors. They’ll see your body from every angle and, after mapping your contours in mere seconds, knows exactly what pair of pants will fit you best.
The system is being set up by U.K.-based Bodymetrics for a promotion Bloomingdales is running and while it looks like the Kinect-scanner is going to be a temporary fixture, it’s a development that could have all kinds of interesting uses.
