3D character and overlay image movement by human body tracking using unity.

Abstract

Technology has made our life very easy and we have the touch of technology everywhere. By using technology, we are solving various difficult problems and making our life more convenient. In our daily life, we buy different clothing and ornaments from different shopping malls. In order to know if a dress is appropriate for the person properly, he or she needs to try the product before buying the product. But the process of trying a product in a big busy shopping mall is time-consuming and hectic for the customers. Often times, people find the trial room occupied and there are big queues in front of the trial rooms. So, we are planning to make the customer’s shopping experience hassle-free and convenient. For this reason, we come up with an idea of a smart mirror which will use overlay 3D image fitting techniques that fits overlay 3D images like dress, ornament or other user defined images within optimal space for various human body shape and type. For this, we are using human body tracking technology to first track the skeleton of the body and then take the coordination of the skeleton to move the 3D dress or object accordingly. So, the customer can select a dress and virtually try all the products without any hassle. This system will save the customer’s valuable time and they do not need to face the hassles of traditional trialing system. We also know that online shopping in growing its popularity day by day. By having this device at home, one can easily try dress they are about to buy from online. Before buying the dress he or she can easily check if the dress is appropriate for him or her by trying the product virtually without trying it physically. The shopkeepers too will be benefited from this product. During seasons like various religious vacations, shopkeepers are unable to provide enough trial room for the customers. Online shopkeeper can increase customer satisfaction as the customer can now try the product virtually from their residence. We believe that it is a great innovation that brings revolution in the customer’s shopping experience. This body tracking technology can be used in various other purposes also. 3D object movement is used in many fields. In gaming and film industry some games require tracking of human movement to move the 3D object accordingly.
