Want a bespoke suit, but can’t afford it? Wicks and Wilson of Hampshire have
a cut-price answer (GB 2 345 750). The customer stands between two screens of
moveable full-length mirrors. A video camera inside each screen points at the
other mirror: one scans the left-hand front view of the customer, and then a
right-hand front view, while the other camera scans rear left and then rear
right. The views are electronically combined to create a body map. This drives a
garment cutter, which spews out cloth patterns that a tailor stitches together
into a suit that should fit perfectly.
