One of the major obstacles in shopping online for clothes was the deficiency in virtual sizing of clothes, but with the development of new technologies, this could just about mean the end of apparel stores as we know them.

First up is Bodymetrics, a revolutionary 3D mapping technology that provides you with a dressing room right in your living room. The product uses PrimeSense 3D sensors to scan a user's height and waist size, as well as the other shapes and curves that make one person's body unique from another. However, this product still needs some fine tuning to perfect the technology but soon when you shop online for clothes, for a 150 $ expense in Bodymetrics technology, you will be able to try it first.

Another novel idea of body mapping for online clothes shopping is from the German startup of the year, UPcload. However unlike the above technology, UPcload only uses a standard webcam for its body mapping technology. All you have to do is wear tight clothing, and hold a CD in front of your webcam. Since the size of a CD is standardized across the world, the company then uses relative sizing to convert the pixels of the image into centimeters and thus providing a measure of your body dimensions. This revolutionary idea in body sizing is not just applicable to the field of online clothes shopping; but the company's founders believe that the idea has scope for development in diet and fitness programs as well as custom made avatars for games. One of the major advantages of UPcload over Bodymetrics is that it is currently available free of cost; although it may not be as accurate as the augmented reality technology that Bodymetrics employs.

Online customers will get a better online clothes shopping experience using UPcload new technology. The Berlin based company founded by Asaf Moses and Sebastian Schulze is improving the online clothes shopping experience with a new technology that could have applications in diet and fitness programs too.

The unique technology requires the use of a CD and a webcam. Online users need to adorn tight clothes and hold a CD in front of them. The UPcload's technology knows the dimensions of the CD and calculates clothing sizes according to the body dimensions of a person holding the CD. The measurements taken are subsequently passed on automatically to online clothes shopping websites from where users aim to purchase clothes.

The new technology is an outcome of a research carried out by the founders of UPcload. The research proved that most online clothes shopping consumers did not know their body measurements. Users have to complete the UPcload measurement process only once, after which their profile is usable in all online clothes shopping websites that support UPcload's technology.

Currently, half of all online purchased clothes are returned due to size variations. Through the new technology and exact measurements received from fashion partners, Youtailor and North Face, UPcload aims to give the online clothes shopping industry a thrust.
