Dec. 9th, 2011 03:46 pmMy sister gave me a Birthday Gift Card for Amazon.com today so I went and placed an order. I'm not going to talk about what I ordered before it arrives, but I wonder about how to muster the energy to keep on with the sweepstakes. Only have a few more days to go, tho'.

Dec. 9th, 2011 07:14 pmAnother Idea I Have NO WAY To Exploit
The other day, the news had a story about two local high school kids who were using a Kinect to develop orthotics (replacement limbs and other such devices) technology.
I just had a more commercial idea, spurred by a conversation at![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

In theory a Kinect can be programmed to take your measurements for apparel sizing. This could even be incorporated into a game software so kids can try being fashion designers. But the "killer app" would be with actual clothiers. They could request this data from customers, and then use it to build virtual mannekins upon which to show off their products.
I don't own an Xbox or a Kinect. I don't know their language. I don't know anybody in the programming or games industry. I do know some people in fashion, but they are all low-tech. Where can I take this idea?
