What is one thing that has always been a rather large hassle
when it comes to online shopping? The answer to that question is; shopping for
clothes. More often than not we find ourselves reluctant to purchase these sorts
of items because we know their tendencies to be I’ll fitting. Now there is a
different question we have to ask ourselves; what possible thing could phone
users do almost more than any other thing? What are so many individuals
obsessed with? Taking pictures of themselves of course! Millions upon millions
of selfies are taken every single day. Now what if we were to use those
selfies, for something actually productive?
What I am proposing is an app that would only take a small
amount of work on the users part. All you would need is a smart phone with a
relatively good camera, and maybe a mirror or two. The app would require your
height and weight, both being adjustable in the settings for latter growth
spurts, weight changes, or unfortunate accidents. You would take four pictures
of yourself, front, back, and profiles. The app would then run a mathematical algorithm
and take your height and weight and run the numbers with you pictures to
calculate you measurements. It should go
without saying that one would preferable be wearing very slim fitting clothing
or as minimal as they feel comfortable with to get the most accurate measurements.
Once your measurements are taken it can do one of two things. It can run through
a database of every department store or online boutique and find the closest
things that can match your body shape, and with a few settings can be adjusted to
find things within your budget. The second is for the more fashion forward
consumers who have a bit more money to throw around. It would connect you to a
database of designers and houses that offer couture clothing and or tailored
fits. A fashion forward future awaits us in the digital age with this app. I
call it ClickFitt
