We present a virtual try-on system - EON Interactive Mirror - that em- ploys one Kinect sensor and one High-Definition (HD) Camera. We first overview the major technical components for the complete virtual try-on system. We then elaborate on several key challenges such as calibration between the Kinect and HD cameras, and shoulder height estimation for individual subjects. Quality of these steps is the key to achieving seamless try-on experience for users. We also present performance comparison of our system implemented on top of two skele- tal tracking SDKs: OpenNI and Kinect for Windows SDK (KWSDK). Lastly, we discuss our experience in deploying the system in retail stores and some potential future improvements. The fashion industry greatly relies on traditional retail outlets because most users only feel comfortable purchasing outfits after physically trying them out. The consequences of this fact include that Internet shopping is hard for clothing; and fitting rooms in brick- and-mortar stores are always packed during peak hours. This motivates us in developing a virtual try-on system that enables shoppers to digitally try out clothes and accessaries. Our system, named EON Interactive Mirror(http://www.eonreality.com/), utilizes one Kinect sensor and one High-Definition (HD) camera. The Interactive Mirror enables the shopper to virtually try-on clothes, dresses, handbags and accessories using gesture- based interaction. Customers experience an intuitive and fun way to mix-and-match collections without having to queue for fitting rooms or spend time changing items. Customers can also snap pictures of their current selections and share them on Social Media to get instant feedback from friends, which can potentially shorten the decision time for making the purchase. Our system has been deployed since April 2012 in one of Singapore's largest shop- ping centers with approximately three million visitors passing through every month. With EON Interactive Mirror, walk-by customers can be convinced to walk into the store. Within the store, it has created unique customer experiences of virtually trying on the latest fashion 'on-the-go' in a fun and engaging way, and made the store stand out from the highly competitive market.
