One way I envisioned it would be that:
1. Let’s say your model (yourself) has already been isighted in with you wearing things that are fitting and not too bulky.
Then there’s a “Make Template” feature. Where you basically “mask” your surroundings and just get this outline of your body.
The app would then split your “body outline” into “top” and “bottom” and save that as 2 different stencils.
So next time you want to input a piece of clothing, you’ll bring out your “top” stencil and then just hold your clothing up so that it matches somewhat to the stencil you have already prepared. That way the location of the shirt will always be in the right place and you can even use the stencil to crop your shirts so that it would fit your virtual self.
Hope this makes sense.
ANOTHER IDEA
Another thing, by the judges’ comments, if it’s too hard to fit clothes onto a model, how about if your iSight is constantly on and your clothes are floating in your GUI (using the template method above) and you just stand at a far enough distance so that you just stand behind your clothes without actually having to fit them onto a model?
Or just take a picture of yourself at a distance every time you want to use it and then walk up to your computer and pick the outfits from there.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?!
