Intelli-Mirror: An Augmented Reality based IoT System for Clothing and Accessory Display

The paper presents an Augmented Reality (AR) based implementation of an interactive system termed "IntelliMirror". The Intelli-Mirror uses Image Processing techniques to detect a user and then displays a garment image on the person. The Intelli-Mirror provides the user with the ability to switch between the selections available in an entire inventory of clothing. This negates the need of continuously having to physically change clothing every time a customer wishes to try on a new garment. This effectively reduces the time to shop to just the decision-making time. The implementation thus provides relief from many of the problems associated with physically changing clothing. The Intelli-Mirror is also an Internet of Things (IoT) device implemented on a Raspberry Pi capable of updating itself to the newest inventory. It can also provide data for user analytics to aid in clothing design and marketing.
