Real-time clothes comparison based on multi-view vision
[...] we present a clothing recognition system that augments clothes recommendation and fashion exploration using the intelligent multi-view vision technology of the Responsive Mirror, an implicitly controlled human-computer interaction system for clothes fitting rooms. The Responsive Mirror provides shoppers with real-time "self" and "social" clothes comparisons. The system recommends clothing that is "similar" and "different" than the clothing that the person is trying on in the mirror.

PARC's responsive mirror = every girl's shopping fantasy come true
By streaming video taken by the camera through their spatially oriented machine learning software, PARC researchers have figured out how to give people like me a real-time interactive comparison shopping experience. The responsive mirror system, which comes in both a desktop and full-length version, displays previously worn outfits on a second "mirror" — the playback of a movie taken by a webcam on the ceiling that locates you spatially within the frame and then finds the same angled shot from the previous clip. The technology hasn't hit retailers yet, but PARC researchers are hoping to implement it in dressing rooms soon.
