Hong Kong: Dummies get smart

2013/03/29

A research team at Hong Kong Polytechnic University developed a smart mannequin called i.Dummy, which can change its body shape and size in seconds at the tap of a fingertip on a computer or smartphone. With the help of i.Dummy, fashion designers no longer need to keep a large number of dummies of different sizes, said Allan Chan Chee-kooi, associate professor of the university's Institute of Textiles and Clothing. The university has filed two patents for the invention.
