INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
3D body scanning systems have hit the big time after years of stops and starts
Hot on the heels of Original Stitch Bodygram, another 3D scanner, 3DLOOK, has entered into the fray with a $1 million investment to measure
bodies around the world.The founders, Vadim Rogovskiy, Ivan Makeev, and Alex Arapovd, created 3DLOOK when they found that they could measure
a human body using just a smartphone
The team found that other solutions couldn&t let them measure fits with any precision and depended on expensive hardware.&After more than
six years of building companies in the ad tech industry I wanted to build something new which was not a commodity,& said Rogovskiy
&I wanted to overcome growth obstacles and I learned that the apparel industry had mounting return problems in e-commerce
3DLOOK co-founders spent over a year on pure RD and testing new approaches and combinations of different technologies before creating SAIA
(Scanning Artificial Intelligence for Apparel) in 2016.&The team raised $400,000 to date and most recently raised a $1 million seed round to
grow the company.The team also collects &fit profiles& and is able to supply these profiles based on &geographic location, age, and gender
groups.& This means that 3DLOOK can give you exact sizes based on your scanned measurements and tell you how clothes will fit on your body
They have 20,000 profiles already and are working with eight paying customers and five large enterprise systems
Lemonade Fashion and Koviem are both using the platform.&3DLOOK is the first company that managed to build a technology that allows
capturing human body measurements with just two casual photos, and plans to disrupt the market of online apparel sales, offering brands and
small stores an API for desktop and SDK for mobile to gather clients measurements and build custom clothing proposals,& said Rogovskiy
&Additionally, the company collects the database of human body measurements so that brands could build better clothing for all types of body
and solve fit and return problems
It will not only allow stores to sell more apparel, it will allow people get the quality apparel.&3D scanners have gotten better and better
over the years and it interesting to see companies being able to scan bodies just from a few photos
While these things can&t account for opinions of taste they can definitely make sure that your clothes fit before you order them.
