Smart dressing mirror and fitting room
Researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Institute of Textiles and Clothing have recently developed "An intelligent Simulator for Cross-selling & Up-selling using Smart Fitting Room & Smart Dressing Mirror". [via SFL.org via digg]
"This system uses RFID technology to detect items brought into a fitting room or placed in front of a dressing mirror. When an item is picked into the fitting room or placed in front of a dressing mirror, the product ID will be immediately detected and transmitted to the system through the antennae and reader.
The mix-and-match database of the system will then deliver recommendations to the customer through a touch-screen LCD monitor or projected screen. In the fitting room, if the customer is interested to pick the recommended mix-and-match items, he/she can make their choice by clicking the items shown on screen.
The salesman in the shop counter will thus be informed, through the intercom system, of the additional items required by the customer inside the fitting room."
