“…Previous systems have augmented virtual shoes (Eisert et al, ; Luh et al, ), shirts (Ehara et al ) and knight's armor (Fiala, ) on to the user. To track the position of the user, these previous systems used tracking markers (Fiala, ; Eisert et al ., ; Luh et al ., ) or a tracking shirt with a rectangular highly‐textured region (Hilsmann et al ). For shoes, a vision‐based approach has been presented (Eisert et al ., ).…”

“…The concept of an AR magic mirror has been demonstrated previously, mainly for advertizing and marketing. Previous systems have augmented virtual shoes Luh et al, 2013), shirts (Ehara et al 2007) and knight's armor (Fiala, 2007) on to the user. To track the position of the user, these previous systems used tracking markers (Fiala, 2007;Eisert et al, 2008;Luh et al, 2013) or a tracking shirt with a rectangular highly-textured region (Hilsmann et al 2008).…”

Personalized augmented reality for anatomy education

et al. 2015

Anatomy education is a challenging but vital element in forming future medical professionals. In this work, a personalized and interactive augmented reality system is developed to facilitate education. This system behaves as a "magic mirror" which allows personalized in-situ visualization of anatomy on the user's body. Real-time volume visualization of a CT dataset creates the illusion that the user can look inside their body. The system comprises a RGB-D sensor as a real-time tracking device to detect the user moving in front of a display. In addition, the magic mirror system shows text information, medical images, and 3D models of organs that the user can interact with. Through the participation of 7 clinicians and 72 students, two user studies were designed to respectively assess the precision and acceptability of the magic mirror system for education. The results of the first study demonstrated that the average precision of the augmented reality overlay on the user body was 0.96 cm, while the results of the second study indicate 86.1% approval for the educational value of the magic mirror, and 91.7% approval for the augmented reality capability of displaying organs in three dimensions. The usefulness of this unique type of personalized augmented reality technology has been demonstrated in this paper.

“…28 Virtual and augmented reality technologies have also been used for a research study to design footwear for children. 29 Beyond research, some companies have adopted 3D technologies for mass customization. Embodee Corp., a company providing 3D visualization technology to the apparel industry which has been reported to work with mytheresa.com, a luxury fashion brand retailer, provides 3D models of Gucci footwear for consumers to be able to customize their products.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the potential for mass customization with fit and size issues using 3D technology in men's jacket development. The study tested a fit mass customization process that employed 3D body scanning and 3D virtual simulation technology and the results are summarized as follows. First, the fit evaluation for the final virtual jacket was improved from the first virtual jacket. Second, during the virtual jacket evaluation process, the participants made various requests to change the fit of their virtual jacket. The large-size group made more requests for alterations to their virtual jackets than the medium- and small-size groups. Third, the study underlines certain improvements needed before the technology can be used for apparel mass customization. The chest circumference, back width, and sleeve length of the real jacket each tended to be slightly tighter or shorter than that of the virtual jacket. Fourth, the study suggests that the jacket made from the mass customization process was satisfactory to potential male consumers, as the actual jacket from the mass customization scenario in this study was evaluated as being better than a ready-to-wear jacket. 3D technology is identified as an innovative tool for future tailors and the menswear industry, particularly aimed at young male consumers. The current study shows the potential for the use of this technology for menswear development.

“…As noted, while the literature includes several studies on a variety of aspects of VR, AR and MR, little research appears to exist examining and encompassing the combination of mass customization, MR and the codesign experience. Among those that do, Luh, Wang, Chang, J., Chang, S., and Chu [55] detail MC for children's shoe design enabled by AR. Merle, Senecal, and St.-Onge [56] present findings on virtual try-on platforms (VTO) in image interactivity technologies (IIT) and their effect on consumer response.…”

“…This is not to say that there are few explorations of the characteristics that describe the nature of VR, AR, MR and their impact on the consumer or individual. As referenced earlier, Second Life, Pokémon Go, IKEA and other companies use aspects of the reality spectrum in either consumer facing or industry applications for shopping, enriched product and service information, and a variety of consumer promotions [55]. Additionally, these providers extend the reach to and interaction with customers on individual and social bases [45,46].…”

The mass customization (MC) toolkit is the major enabler of relational value for consumers. Not a new concept, but nascent in the context of the MC co-design experience, mixed reality (MR) merges the real and virtual world. While the literature extols the significance of MR components-augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)-in manufacturing, IT, education and, to a limited extent, retail, few if any studies address its relevance to MC and the consumer's perceived value of the co-design experience. Is a mixed reality configurator viable as the enabler of relational benefit in the consumer co-design experience? With visual and feedback features critical to the structure of successful webbased configurators, what characteristics must a MR toolkit possess to deliver optimal experiential value to the MC consumer? What is the nature of the MR toolkit and its bearing upon perceived complexity, control and enjoyment of the co-design process? Are these perceptions the most relevant to consider in designing a MC toolkit utilizing MR technology? This conceptual paper attempts to define a mixed reality toolkit and explore its potential influence on the consumer's perception of value of the MC co-design experience in the mixed reality context. .
