Digital Showroom: The Next Generation of Shopping

摘要

The immersive shopping environment promises to disrupt the apparel/textile complex as we know it. It is no longer the future - it is now. Imagine stepping into a comfortable chamber where your body can be scanned in 12 seconds or less to produce an avatar of yourself. Or, if you prefer the comfort of your own home, you may select your "scanatar" from a portal that contains all possible shapes and sizes. From here, select the fashion or garment that you desire. Tweak it to your own preferences such as loose around the neck, long in the cuff, pant length just "so" or whatever you want. Select the fabric that appeals to you from a plethora of sources on a screen that are organized by color, print, weight, or any criteria that you want. Polka dots? Glen Plaid? Seersucker? Now, try it on your scanatar and spin it around so you can view yourself from all angles. Adjust as you see fit. When you are ready to buy it, just push the button. Back at the factory, your pattern is being selected, sized, cut, and ready for assembly. Your garment can arrive at your door in a matter of days. This is not the future - this is NOW!
