Publication number: 20120188232Abstract: A method and system for providing a computer-simulated environment for displaying a selected mannequin wearing a combination of selected garments. In one aspect, three-dimensional scenes containing mannequin and garment objects are created within a three-dimensional modeling environment, and a simulation is performed using a cloth simulator within the modeling environment to model the construction, draping, and collision of the garment with the mannequin. Rendering frames corresponding to a variety of garments, mannequins, garment dimensions, garment styles, wearing patterns, viewing angles, and other parameters, are then generated from which images can be rendered and displayed in accordance with user requests.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2012Publication date: July 26, 2012Applicant: MY VIRTUAL MODEL INC.Inventors: Carlos SALDANHA, Andrea M. Froncioni, Paul A. Kruszewski, Gregory J. Saumier-Finch, Caroline M. Trudeau, Fadi G. Bachaalani, Nader Morcos, Sylvain B. Cote, Patrick R. Guevin, Jean-Francois B.

Publication number: 20120072405Abstract: A visually-oriented search system guides a search with non-verbal inputs. Instead of specifying discrete attributes (words) as input to a search engine, a user may create a visual model of a desired end result and apply the model as a generalized input from which discrete attributes are extracted for submission to conventional search engines. The search may be enhanced with a simulation of the visually-created query, and the simulation may be transformed into a query suitable for distribution to one or more search engines. The query may be refined using domain-specific rules, vocabulary, expert systems, and the like. Search results may be browsed by a user, or employed to further refine subsequent searches.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2011Publication date: March 22, 2012Applicant: My Virtual Model Inc.Inventors: Louise Guay, Claude Faribault, Gregory Saumier-Finch, Elizabeth Haydock, Jean Francois St. Arnaud
