Technology Eases Clothes-Buying Struggle for Consumers

The most frustrating aspect of clothes shopping for many is the process or trying on stacks of clothes in varying sizes to find the best fit possible. New body-scanning technology from various firms promises to make the process easier. The Los Angeles Times reports that some firms are developing scanning software for home use with the Microsoft Kinect motion sensing input device. The companies developing and commercializing scanning technologies include Styku, Bodymetrics, FaceCake Marketing Technologies, and Unique Solutions Design. Numerous shopping centers now offer free scans to shoppers. Bloomingdale’s, for example, has tested a jeans-fitting scanner. Retailers expect the technology could eliminate many returns.
