STOCKHOLM and CHICAGO, Nov. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- TG3D Studio Inc. today announced the successful launches of its Scanatic™ 360 Body Scanner as part of two exciting and innovative retail concepts in Sweden and the United States. The body scanner comes with newly added features that provide a safer way to take shoppers' measurements during the global Covid-19 pandemic.
TG3D Studio's Scanatic™ 360 Body Scanner enables social-distancing protocols that are impossible in fashion retailers' traditional process of taking measurements by hand. It is also superior to other body-scanning machines, because it is the first contactless 3D body scanner that does not require customers to grip onto any surface. Its completely handle-free design allows consumers to control the measurement app using their body movements, just like the experience in the Xbox Kinect games, and makes it easy for the scanner to blend into any store environment, since the scanning room can double as a fitting room.
The Scanatic™ 360 Body Scanner also ensures customers' privacy by using infrared technology to scan the human body. No photographs or videos are captured at any point in the scanning process.
On November 5 at its Götgatan store in central Stockholm, Weekday, a member of the H&M Group (Nasdaq Stockholm: HM B), kicked off its innovative new design concept, Body Scan Jeans; Custom Made & Produced on Demand, enabled by technology from TG3D Studio.
In just 3 seconds, the Scanatic™ 360 Body Scanner takes a complete scan of the customer's body. Then, within 30 seconds, TG3D Studio's Scanatic™ Body Service processes the 3D data into a virtual avatar comprising 100,000 data points. This technology enables Weekday to tailor a custom fit for each individual order, as if the jeans were woven directly around the customer's body.
With a user-friendly, self-service software interface, customers can then configure a unique design for their jeans on the spot, customizing their jeans' fit, waist, leg, length, wash, thread color, and trims.
Weekday's introduction of Body Scan Jeans follows the launch in September of Fit:Match's new studio at Oakbrook Center, an outdoor mall outside Chicago, which also is powered by TG3D Studio. This completely contactless shopping experience invites shoppers to get 3D-measured, or "fitched," using TG3D Studio's Scanatic™ 360 Body Scanner.
Within minutes, Fit:Match customers can start shopping online from a personalized apparel selection, seeing only styles available in sizes that will fit them beautifully. The studio in Oakbrook Center, a Brookfield Properties mall, launched over Labor Day Weekend with more than 50 brands including Under Armour, Express, Ted Baker, Nili Lotan, Paige, and Good American, and was featured on CNBC and Chicago's WGN TV News. Using TG3D Studio's technology, Fit:Match envisions a world in customers will never again need to try on clothes or deal with returns, knowing that every item they purchase will be the right size.
"This pair of recent launches demonstrates TG3D Studio's ability to delight consumers in both the on-demand (Weekday/H&M) and ready-to-wear (Fit:Match) apparel sectors," said Rick Yu, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of TG3D Studio.
TG3D Studio's solutions allow consumers to purchase the clothes they love without worrying about fit and sizing, meanwhile enabling brands and retailers to serve customers seamlessly during the pandemic.
