A well known international name in the apparel industry for affordable fashion design and apparel product development, Tukatech presented ‘Styku – 3D Fitting Room’, the most talked about fitting solution in recent times at GTE Bangalore.
Representing the company at the fair, Brad Whiteley, Director, Tukatech informed that Styku has now joined hands with Microsoft Kinect X box technology to make the process of body scanning more accurate and personalized. “Styku uses Kinect technology to scan a body for measurements. Then, using advanced 3D apparel technology, Styku allows customers to create personalized avatars to digitally try on clothes, showing them how a garment would look on their exact body shape and providing size recommendations based on fit,” he explained.
The Styku system can be installed in an existing dressing room (allowing you to double the functionality of the existing space), or customers can scan themselves using Microsoft Kinect for Windows at home. Body measurements are then extracted and used to create a customized 3D mannequin and an online profile accessible via the Internet or mobile device.
While other body scanners in the market average a scan time between 8 to 12 seconds, Actually, the longer is the scan time, the more people move, making it difficult to get an accurate scan and extract measurements. Styku’s body scan takes only 3 seconds to scan the entire body, greatly reducing the scan time and increasing precision of the scan.
Styku benefits both consumers and online retailers, as customers can buy with confidence when purchasing apparel online and retailers can expect fewer returns. At a retail location, there is no need for shoppers to try on multiple sizes, as a quick scan provides a list of sizes and inventory of clothing in the store that would best fit their body. “It helps in reducing cycle time as the process is very fast and accurate. It also helps in virtual sampling and in made-to-measure clothing,” says Brad. Other scanners in the market average a scan time between 8 to 12 seconds and the longer the scan time, the more people move, making it difficult to get an accurate scan and extract accurate measurements. Styku’s Body Scan takes only 3 seconds to scan the entire body, greatly reducing the scan time and increasing precision of the scan.
Talking about Tukatech’s advantage over other solution providers in the market Brad says, “We not only provide solutions but also consult and engineer their solutions based on a company’s need. Tukatech team looks into all the processes starting from product development to production and then best suited solutions for the business model of the client.”
