Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enabling the reduction of the time required to simulate a garment fitting onto a destination body shape with high visual quality, while also offering high performance and accuracy. The embodiments described herein include, for example, caching of source body meshes having a geometric difference with a destination body mesh that is within a predefined threshold. At least one of the cached source body meshes is selected, based, at least in part, on a wearable measurement range of the garment. For each of the selected cached source body meshes, a deformable object mesh representing the garment is generated, wherein the generating is based, at least in part, on the selected cached source body mesh. A source body mesh having body measurements that most closely match the body measurements of the destination body mesh is identified from among the selected cached source body meshes.

Abstract: A conversation interface system provides remote access to manufacturing operation information using plain language message exchange. A cloud-based conversation interface service is exposed to an instant messaging application, and receives plain language queries from via the instant messaging application's interface requesting information relating to one or more industrial systems. The cloud-based system synchronizes the queries to one or more on-premise conversation interface agent devices residing at one or more plant facilities. The on-premise agent devices translate the queries and apply the translated queries to local sources of manufacturing operation data. The on-premise agent devices then generate and return response messages based on the retrieved information, and the cloud-based system directs the response messages the originators of the queries via the instant messaging interface.
