Staff and students at Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s Institute of Textiles and Clothing created the iDummy, a smart mannequin that quickly changes to a large range of different clothing sizes and shapes with a “user-friendly GUI” computer program. The project was led by Dr Allan Chan Chee-kooi, who gathered worldwide measurement data using a 3D body scanner. The information was then input into the iDummy OS to create universal sizing abilities. iDummy was acquired by Winswin Technology, who is now marketing the mannequin.
