Objective
E-TAILOR will develop advanced infrastructures, which will establish a new paradigm for Virtual retailing services of customised clothing (AL II.3.3- personalisation of goods and services, AL IV.4.1 real-time clothing simulation and visualisation).
The work programme comprises:
.a European Sizing Infrastructure, that will contribute to the solution of the sizing problem;
.an advanced Customised Clothing Infrastructure, enabling the production and distribution of custom-made garments at reasonable prices, in short time and with a close to perfect fit;
.an innovative Virtual Shopping Infrastructure, enabling customers to visualise themselves wearing clothes on offer at e-kiosks and Internet shops;
.generic body representations and standards;
.smart-card applications, securing data privacy.
Dissemination will be effected trough User Groups (Core Group, External Group), via the Dissemination network of Euratex, as well as through Workshops and a Conference. The Consortium will seek support for the financing of a large-scale European-wide Sizing survey, which will make use of the Infrastructure developed in WP4 (ESSI).
