Design and implementation of a magic mirror using Kinect

Abstract

Now a days shopping became a daily essential part of our regular life. When we analysis in both online and going physically in the market we get to come up in a point that everyday people are remaining busy with the shopping in any kind of purpose in every day. We observed that there are lots of markets in Dhaka city but we felt strange that the markets are being busy with the huge crowd of people especially for the women. Besides, we observed that people often faces trial room problem in most of the market because of a long number of queue which is very disappointing for the customers. Moreover, the blessing of technology creates a nice and easy environment to the customers with lot of opportunities on shopping. So, to enhance users shopping experience and to spend less time on maintain queue for fitting room, our goal is to presents a virtual mirror model using gesture recognition technique. This allows a person to check how a dress looks like and which color is suitable on a person’s body. Moreover, it shows user's body measurement when users try on virtual clothes. In the proposed model, we used Microsoft Kinect sensors to track user skeleton movement and depth image. The cloths are simulated in such a way that will represent an environment for the user like the mirror.
