Abstract

Image of a subject is received along with viewable representations of a user selected wearable object having a respective size indicative of physical dimensions of the wearable object. The physical proportions of the subject are determined and a display is generated that shows how the wearable object having a respective size will look when worn by the subject having the determined physical proportions.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a processor, a first image of a subject;

determining, by the processor, proportions of the subject'"'"'s body;

receiving, by the processor, a user selection of a wearable object from a plurality of wearable objects, each of the wearable objects having a respective size indicative of respective physical dimensions;

retrieving, by the processor, a graphical representation of the wearable object having a size corresponding to the physical dimensions of the wearable object;

generating, by the processor, a second image that shows the user selected wearable object on the subject'"'"'s body in accordance with the proportions of the subject'"'"'s body and the physical dimensions of the wearable object by combining the first image with the graphical representation;

communicating, by the processor, the second image for display to the user.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting, by the processor, information regarding the plurality of wearable objects for display to the user to facilitate the user selection.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

selecting, by the processor, the size as an optimum size for the subject, the optimum size is selected based on the proportions of the subject'"'"'s body from a plurality of sizes that that comprise the size and other sizes alternately available for the wearable object.

4. The method of claim 3, selecting the optimum size further comprising:

comparing, by the processor, the proportions of the subject'"'"'s body with metadata associated with the plurality of sizes;

selecting, by the processor, from the plurality of sizes, a size that has respective metadata with measurement ranges including the proportions as the optimum size.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first image is retrieved by the processor from a processor readable storage medium.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first image is received by the processor in real-time from an imaging device.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, by the processor, a voice command to generate the second image; and

decoding, by the processor, the voice command to generate the second image.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the user is the subject.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the size is selected by the user.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

receiving, by the processor, a request to determine an optimum size for the user selected wearable object;

accessing, by the processor, metadata associated with a plurality of sizes that define respective dimensions available for the user selected wearable object; and

comparing, by the processor, the proportions of the subject to the metadata associated with each of the plurality of sizes.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

selecting, by the processor, from the plurality of sizes, a size different from the size that has respective metadata with measurement ranges including the proportions as the optimum size; and

generating, by the processor, a third image that shows the selected wearable object of the optimum size on the subject'"'"'s body in accordance with the proportions of the subject'"'"'s body and the physical dimensions of the selected wearable object by combining the first image with the graphical representation of the wearable selected object having the optimum size; and

transmitting, by the processor, the third image for display to the user.

12. A computing device comprising:

a processor;

a storage medium for tangibly storing thereon program logic for execution by the processor, the program logic comprising;

image receiving logic, executed by the processor, for receiving a first image of a subject;

determining logic, executed by the processor, for determining proportions of the subject'"'"'s body;

selected wearable objects receiving logic, executed by the processor, for receiving a user selection of a wearable object from a plurality of wearable objects, each of the wearable objects having a size indicative of respective physical dimensions;

graphical representation retrieving logic, by the processor, for retrieving a graphical representation of the wearable object having a size corresponding to respective physical dimensions;

image generating logic, executed by the processor, for generating a second image that shows the wearable object on the subject'"'"'s body in accordance with the proportions of the subject'"'"'s body and the size of the wearable object by combining the first image with the graphical representation of the wearable object;

image communication logic, executed by the processor, for transmitting the second image for display to the user.

13. The system of claim 12, further comprising:

wearable objects transmitting logic, executed by the processor, for transmitting information regarding the plurality of wearable objects for display to the user to facilitate the user selection.

14. The system of claim 12, further comprising:

size selecting logic, executed by the processor, for selecting the size as an optimum size for the subject, the optimum size is selected based on the proportions of the subject'"'"'s body from a plurality of sizes that comprise the size and other sizes alternately available for the wearable object.

15. The system of claim 14 wherein the size selecting further comprises:

comparing logic, by the processor, for comparing the proportions of the subject'"'"'s body with metadata associated with the plurality of sizes.

16. The system of claim 12 wherein the user is the subject.

17. A computer readable storage medium, comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

receive a first image of a subject;

determine proportions of the subject'"'"'s body;

receive a user selection of a wearable object from a plurality of wearable objects, each of the wearable objects having a respective size indicative of respective physical dimensions;

retrieve a graphical representation of the wearable object having a size corresponding to the physical dimensions of the wearable object;

generate, a second image that shows the user selected wearable object on the subject'"'"'s body in accordance with the proportions of the subject'"'"'s body and the physical dimensions of the wearable object by combining the first image with the graphical representation;

communicate the second image for display to the user.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 17, further comprising instructions which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

transmit information regarding the plurality of wearable objects for display to the user to facilitate the user selection.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 17, further comprising instructions which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

select the size as an optimum size for the subject, the optimum size is selected based on the proportions of the subject'"'"'s body from a plurality of sizes that comprise the size and other sizes alternately available for the wearable object.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 19, further comprising instructions which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

compare, the proportions of the subject'"'"'s body with metadata associated with the plurality of sizes;

select from the plurality of sizes, a size that has respective metadata with measurement ranges including the proportions as the optimum size.
