Technology has actually become an extremely important factor in the fashion world today. Many people are relying more and more now on technology to create their companies and make them be more successful.
I have heard that stores are now creating a new system that gets rid of the typical problems that goes on in the dressing rooms. These new advanced fitting rooms are supposed to make consumers life's a lot easier and will actually make shopping a lot less stressful. They have come up with a "responsive mirror" that reminds you how each item looked on you by showing you a picture. It also lets the shopper know what other sizes there is of that item just incase the item doesn't fit and also let's the shopper know other similar styles of it. It doesn't stop there though!
They tried taking this idea a step further and thought about how shoppers sometimes shop alone. Usually when a shopper tries something on, they take a picture and send it to someone else. What this mirror does is not only take pictures of you, but acts like a sort of chat room. You can add friends and family and send them pictures of the outfits you just tried on! Cool, huh?
It keeps getting better!
If your friend or family members don't like what they see, no problem. The website in which they are using to see you will give them other options of merchandise from t he store you are at, giving them the option to choose a completely different outfit and the computer will put the garment over the picture as if you were trying it on! Amazing.
Can't wait for this to get in Texas. I know this will save a lot of my time while shopping.
