Digitise your body and measurements without a body scanner - Enter the matrix (igg.me)

Accurately measuring the size and shape of your body could be as easy as clicking a button.

This new technology uses the camera on a smartphone, tablet or PC to take one picture of the front and side of the body. These pictures are then used to build a 3D digital representation of that person in seconds, with complete body measurements.

“Our platform is designed to empower people and to help them make better informed decisions”, says Eleanor “Nell” Watson, founder and CEO of disruptive technology startup, Poikos.

The product was designed to disrupt traditional methods of clothing manufacturing, which typically wastes up to 15%, and to help to end the exploitation of sweatshop labour.

It’s now experimentally being applied for health applications, as a user can scan their body, dynamically alter body-mass of the virtual model to their personal ideal, and then track their progress towards that goal, week by week.
