Abstract

Techniques for modifying a garment based on gestures are presented herein. An access module can access a first set of sensor data from a first sensor, and a second set of sensor data from a second sensor. A garment simulation module can generate a three-dimensional (3D) garment model of a garment available for sale draped on an avatar based on the first set of sensor data and the second set of sensor data. A display module can cause a presentation, on a display of a device, of the 3D garment model draped on the avatar. Additionally, the garment simulation module can determine a modification gesture associated with the 3D garment model draped on the avatar based on the first set of sensor data and the second set of sensor data. Furthermore, the garment simulation module can modify the 3D garment model based on the determined modification gesture.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
obtaining sensor data from one or more sensors that describes a body of a user in a 3D physical space;
presenting, on a display of a display device, a 3D garment model draped on an avatar that mirrors the body of the user in the 3D physical space;
detecting, based on the sensor data, a modification gesture made by the user in relation to a sleeve of the 3D garment model draped on the avatar mirroring the user's body, the modification gesture made by the user in relation to the sleeve detected based on a difference between initial sensor data and subsequent sensor data that is obtained from the one or more sensors and describes the user's body in the 3D physical space;
digitally tailoring the 3D garment model draped on the avatar mirroring the user's body by modifying the sleeve of the 3D garment model; and
presenting, on the display, a tailored 3D garment model draped on the avatar mirroring the user's body.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein modifying the sleeve comprises modifying a length of the sleeve of the 3D garment model based on detecting the modification gesture.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein modifying the sleeve comprises shortening the sleeve of the 3D garment model based on detecting the modification gesture.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein modifying the sleeve comprises lengthening the sleeve of the 3D garment model based on detecting the modification gesture.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the modification gesture made by the user in relation to the sleeve includes detecting a pulling gesture of the user pulling the sleeve of the 3D garment model.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the modification gesture made by the user in relation to the sleeve includes detecting a pinching gesture and a pulling gesture in relation to the sleeve, the detecting including detecting the user pulling the sleeve of the 3D garment model.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the modification gesture made by the user in relation to the sleeve includes detecting a hand of the user squeezing a part of the user's body.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending a request to a manufacturer of a garment modeled by the 3D garment model, the request requesting to modify the garment and including custom sizing information based on the modification gesture.

9. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions that are executable by the at least one processor to perform operations including:
obtaining sensor data from one or more sensors that describes a body of a user in a 3D physical space;
presenting, on a display of a display device, a 3D garment model draped on an avatar that mirrors the body of the user in the 3D physical space;
detecting, based on the sensor data, a modification gesture made by the user in relation to a sleeve of the 3D garment model draped on the avatar mirroring the user's body, the modification gesture made by the user in relation to the sleeve detected based on a difference between initial sensor data and subsequent sensor data that is obtained from the one or more sensors and describes the user's body in the 3D physical space;
digitally tailoring the 3D garment model draped on the avatar mirroring the user's body by modifying the sleeve of the 3D garment model; and
presenting, on the display, a tailored 3D garment model draped on the avatar mirroring the user's body.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein modifying the sleeve comprises modifying a length of the sleeve of the 3D garment model based on detecting the modification gesture.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein modifying the sleeve comprises shortening the sleeve of the 3D garment model based on detecting the modification gesture.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein modifying the sleeve comprises lengthening the sleeve of the 3D garment model based on detecting the modification gesture.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein detecting the modification gesture made by the user in relation to the sleeve includes detecting a pulling gesture of the user pulling the sleeve of the 3D garment model.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further include sending a request to a manufacturer of a garment modeled by the 3D garment model, the request requesting to modify the garment and including custom sizing information based on the modification gesture.

15. Non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations including:
obtaining sensor data from one or more sensors that describes a body of a user in a 3D physical space;
presenting, on a display of a display device, a 3D garment model draped on an avatar that mirrors the body of the user in the 3D physical space;
detecting, based on the sensor data, a modification gesture made by the user in relation to a sleeve of the 3D garment model draped on the avatar mirroring the user's body, the modification gesture made by the user in relation to the sleeve detected based on a difference between initial sensor data and subsequent sensor data that is obtained from the one or more sensors and describes the user's body in the 3D physical space;
digitally tailoring the 3D garment model draped on the avatar mirroring the user's body by modifying the sleeve of the 3D garment model; and
presenting, on the display, a tailored 3D garment model draped on the avatar mirroring the user's body.

16. The computer-readable storage media of claim 15 , wherein modifying the sleeve comprises modifying a length of the sleeve of the 3D garment model based on detecting the modification gesture.

17. The computer-readable storage media of claim 15 , wherein modifying the sleeve comprises shortening the sleeve of the 3D garment model based on detecting the modification gesture.

18. The computer-readable storage media of claim 15 , wherein modifying the sleeve comprises lengthening the sleeve of the 3D garment model based on detecting the modification gesture.

19. The computer-readable storage media of claim 15 , wherein detecting the modification gesture made by the user in relation to the sleeve includes detecting a pulling gesture of the user pulling the sleeve of the 3D garment model.

20. The computer-readable storage media of claim 15 , wherein the operations further include sending a request to a manufacturer of a garment modeled by the 3D garment model, the request requesting to modify the garment and including custom sizing information based on the modification gesture.
