A bodyscan in stores?

 

Some people really hate it to shop for new clothes, waiting for your turn to use the fittingroom, holding your breath because the fittingroom smells like someone else's sweat, trying new sweaters on and finding out that the sweaters don't fit...

For those people, this new invention might be the solution to skip the misery of shopping for new clothes: the 3D-bodyscan in stores!

The 3D-bodyscan is just like the bodyscan we know from the airports, but much more advanced. The scanner measures your whole body within seconds. Then the clothingsizes comes out of the machine, also specified in brands (because brands use different ways of measurements). The biggest departement stores of the Netherlands, V&D and Bijenkorf are interested in the bodyscanner. Probably about two years we can expect the first ones in these stores.

Hmm, I just prefer the 'old-fashioned' way, by using the fittingrooms. And about the exact measurements coming out of the machine, well, sometimes people purposely choose to buy a sweater one size bigger (or smaller). And what if the scanner can't recognize your sizes in its system, people just might get sad or dissappointed...

Anyway, we have to wait two more years. Jumi will definitely test this scanner (maybe, it is fun, I don't know, we'll see).
