Augmented Reality Hits Topshop Moscow

Kinect Fitting Room from den ivanov on Vimeo.

A new kiosk at Topshop Moscow allows customers to try merchandise on without the hassle (and lines) of a fitting room.

The kiosk uses Kinect Augmented Reality technology to render on-screen, live images of passers-by holding merchandise. We only wonder if this kiosk is as flattering as typical fitting room mirrors…(“Wow. This dress is on sale, AND makes me 20 pounds thinner!)

Up next: display ads that use your webcam to turn unsuspecting web users into models. Criterion Global will be launching this technology in Q4 2012. Stay tuned! ;)
