Objective
The main objective of e-T Cluster is to bring together the main key players in Europe and cluster European and National projects to propose a framework of standards, enabling the seamless integration of 3D scanner, CAD and Avatar technologies, thus homogenising innovative infrastructures for Virtual retailing services of customised clothing and possibly other related services. Further important objectives of the Cluster will be:
- To develop and maintain efficient links with important standardisation bodies and other relevant organisations related to the proposed work on standards.
- To disseminate the proposed standards and the resulting infrastructure to the Technology Community (CAD suppliers, 3D scanner suppliers), under the responsibility of Lectra, as well as to the garment and fashion retail industry, under the responsibility of EURATEX.
e-T Cluster will support & complement E-TAILOR & Fashion-Me(2 IST projects) & 3D Centre for Electronic Commerce(a major UK project), in order to propose a framework of standards enabling seamless integration of 3D scanner, CAD & Avatar technologies, homogenising innovative infrastructures for Virtual retailing services of customised clothing. Three suppliers of 3D whole-body scanners will develop standards for generic 3D body & measurements exported from various scanner systems, enabling development of configurable interfaces to CAD & Virtual-try-on systems. Two main EU Apparel CAD manufacturers will develop CAD interoperability standards, enabling electronic interchange of data sets between different modules of Made-to-Measure applications of different suppliers. The standards will be tested at various configurations, linking systems developed in supported projects. Links to standardisation bodies & the standards wide dissemination activities will be effected. The project will be open to further participation of other related projects or organisations.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK
The Workplan is structured in the form of Thematic Blocks, which will develop in parallel as reflected in the structure of the workpackages. Three main Technical workpackages include WP2: Development of CAD Interoperability Standards, WP3: Development of Standard 3D Body and measurements' representations, & WP4: Testing Standards in Common Testbed Pilots. There are three major phases, related to the evolution of the work in the Technical workpackages, P1: Definition of Requirements, P2: Design and Implementation of Standards, P3:Integration in Common Testbeds. During Phase1 (Month 1- Month 8) work in WP2 will focus on the definition of the interoperability concepts & the detailed methodology to be followed. During the same phase, work in WP3 will focus on the identification of requirements, acquisition & analysis of 3D sample data from different scanners & review of existing formats. During Phase2 (Month 9 - Month 15) work in WP2 will focus on the identification of data flows from ordering to production, preliminary & final design of the interoperability standard & pilot implementation. During the same phase, work in WP3 will focus on the preliminary & final definition of the 3D body standard. Finally the integration phase (Phase 3) will include the design and specification of the tests, the setup of the test beds, carrying out the tests & evaluation of the test results. Liaison activities will include co-operation with the supported projects, & co-operation with relevant standardisation bodies (h-anim group, Web3D Consortium, European Sizing Co-operation, etc). Wide dissemination & standard promotion activities will include: the set-up of a forum via e-T Clusters' website, a Workshop after the Kick-off Meeting, which will contribute to the forging of links with the industry & standardisation bodies, promotion of the standards to the CAD & 3D scanner industrial communities, & dissemination of the results to the Apparel & Fashion Retail Community.
