Abstract

A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for simulating the fit of a particular garment on a user using a fit simulation garment. The fit simulation garment is wearable by a user and comprises a plurality of actuators configured to simulate tightness of regions of the particular garment. The method includes receiving a garment fit model defining the fit of the particular garment on the user. The method further includes parsing the garment fit model to generate control data for controlling the fit simulation garment, and transmitting the control data to the fit simulation garment to cause the plurality of actuators to collectively simulate the fit of the particular garment on the user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, a set of output data from a body measurement garment worn by a user;
storing, by the computing device, the set of output data from the body measurement garment worn by the user;
processing, by the computing device, the set of output data to generate a plurality of length measurements corresponding to body measurements of the user;
composing, by the computing device, based on the plurality of length measurements, a measurement profile of the user;
generating, by the computing device, based on the measurement profile, a body shape model of the user; and
based on the body shape model of the user, generating, by the computing device, a fitting mannequin including a plurality of embedded sensors.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the set of output data is produced by a plurality of sensors embedded in the body measurement garment.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the set of output data corresponds to a plurality of measurements of force applied to a plurality of tension bands of a known length.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the processing of the set of output data further comprises calculating the plurality of length measurements based on the plurality of measurements of force applied to the plurality of tension bands.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the set of output data includes one or more manual adjustments from the user.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the generation of the body shape model is further based on the one or more manual adjustments from the user.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising storing, by the computing device, the measurement profile and the body shape model in a repository of user profiles.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising associating, by the computing device, the measurement profile and the body shape model with a user profile of the user.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising presenting, by the computing device, the body shape model via a user interface.

10. A system comprising:
a memory that stores instructions; and
at least one processor configured by the instructions to perform operations comprising:
receiving a set of output data from a body measurement garment worn by a user;
storing the set of output data from the body measurement garment worn by the user;
processing the set of output data to generate a plurality of length measurements corresponding to body measurements of the user;
composing, based on the plurality of length measurements, a measurement profile of the user;
generating, based on the measurement profile, a body shape model of the user; and
based on the body shape model of the user, generating a fitting mannequin including a plurality of embedded sensors.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the body shape model is a three-dimensional representation of the user with accurately scaled body measurements.

12. The system of claim 10 , further comprising:
accessing a garment model, the garment model defining dimensions of a physical garment; and
generating a garment fit model based on the body shape model and the garment model, the garment fit model representing a fit of the physical garment on the user.

13. The system of claim 12 , further comprising:
rendering the garment fit model for presentation; and
presenting a three-dimensional virtual representation of the user wearing the physical garment.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the set of output data is produced by a plurality of sensors embedded in the body measurement garment.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the set of output data corresponds to a plurality of measurements of force applied to a plurality of tension bands of a known length.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processing of the set of output data further comprises calculating the plurality of length measurements based on the plurality of measurements of force applied to the plurality of tension bands.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the set of output data includes one or more manual adjustments from the user.

18. A non-transitory machine-readable medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
receiving a set of output data from a body measurement garment worn by a user;
storing the set of output data;
processing the set of output data to generate a plurality of length measurements corresponding to body measurements of the user;
composing, based on the plurality of length measurements, a measurement profile for the user;
generating, based on the measurement profile, a body shape model for the user; and
based on the body shape model of the user, generating a fitting mannequin.

19. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the fitting mannequin includes a plurality of sensors.

20. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the fitting mannequin is a physical mannequin.
