As for how the clothes come out of the closet onto a model in quick fashion, I just imagined them sliding in and out of the screen like a horizontal slot machine where each bottom/top slides in and out as if all the clothing were on wheels.
Jackets can be drag and drop.
But there’s also a way to look at them and sort them using drag and drop in a closet that can be one of those turnstyle or dry-cleaner’s like closests that can be sorted at the click of a button by color, style, kind, season, last worn etc.
Also, you can pull up the virtual mirror so that you can see yourself or a model in 2 or 3 outfits AT THE SAME TIME. I think that would be one of the huge benefits of having a virtual closet in the first place.
I think a possible way of inputting your clothing is
- Holding up your clothes to the screen
or
- I imagined holding your clothing up against a green screen-like type of background where you could use somehow pull a Photoshop-like “magnetic lasso” to grab the clothing and then do a zoom-in zoom-out thing to fit it onto your model.
or
- Also, I think if the new iChat can put background on someone’s chat screen maybe the inverse can be done with clothing. However, I have no idea how that’s done.
I think the judges’ comments have been fair. I’m just glad the judges gave me some good advice and both the positive and negative all made sense to me.
