The Kinect has become quite a powerful device, able to do many things and now it has another ability. Now it can help you pick out a pair of jeans. This is important economically because up to 40% of clothing purchased is returned because of poor fit.
And so Bloomingdale’s has contracted with a British body-mapping firm for an in-store service using Kinects that analyze and categorize your body, so that the clothes fit. Just step into the pod and eight Kinect sensors produce a 3D map of your body in five seconds.
