eBay acquires PhiSix, which lets users try on 3D clothes virtually While online shopping can make buying the latest gear easier, there are some downsides -- like not being able to try on clothes. eBay appears to be all too aware of this issue, especially when it comes to item returns. In an effort to make it easier for shoppers and to cut down on returns, the e-commerce giant announced on Wednesday that it acquired 3D virtual clothing try-on company PhiSix. PhiSix is a computer graphics company that creates 3D models of jeans, button-up shirts, dresses, and other clothing from photos, pattern files, and other sources. "PhiSix's technology enables consumers to understand the fit and movement of clothes in an online shopping environment," eBay vice president of Innovation and New Ventures Steve Yankovich said in a statement. Not only can users see how an item will fit, but the technology also recommends sizes for people based on their measurements. PhiSix was founded in 2012 by former Intel research scientist Jonathan Su.
gizmodo 3D Scanning, Hacking, and Printing in Art Museums, for the Masses «3D Printing. You've heard the term everywhere lately, from Popular Science magazine to tech blogs, to President Obama's State of the Union address. Advocates of this technology claim that 3D printers will revolutionize manufacturing, health care, education, design, space exploration, time travel, and countless other fields. While they may not help us travel back in time, 3D printers sure are neat, and new applications of these tools are being developed every day.» At the Met, we've been exploring ways that 3D technologies can be used by everyday visitors to enhance their museum experience. Knowing that not everyone has a 3D printer or amazing tech skills, my team and I are focusing on tools and activities that are accessible to a wide range of people. The first step in your journey is to get a digital model to play with. If you're visiting the Museum, it's not hard to make your own models using nothing but a digital camera and free program called 123D Catch.
