  • Publication number: 20040227752
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for generating a 3D model configured to represent a user. The apparatus includes a capture module, a conversion module, and a presentation module. The capture module enables a user to capture a plurality of images of the user wearing a form-fitting body suit. The body suit includes reference points and each image includes at least three image points. The conversion module converts the images into a 3D model of the user using contours and sizing information gathered from the images and the reference points. The presentation module presents the 3D model to a user in an interface. The interface permits a user to clothe the 3D model in various garment representations. The garment representations may be pre-made or custom-fit clothing and fit the 3D model in substantially the same way that actual garments would fit the user.
