For this educational project, I worked together with another student on a proof of concept for Comeos Belgium and its Innovation Talks. We were given the freedom to choose a retailer and develop an early prototype that could improve efficiency within the retail experience. We chose A.S. Adventure and created "Adventure Fit", an interactive kiosk designed to reduce the need for traditional fitting rooms.
The concept allows customers to take an RFID card attached to a clothing item and scan it at the kiosk. The selected product is then displayed on the touchscreen, while a camera allows the customer to see the item virtually on their body using augmented reality. This creates a faster and more interactive way to explore clothing without having to physically try it on.
Using the interface, customers can also explore different colour variations of the selected item and immediately check whether the product is available in stock. This brings product information, virtual fitting and stock availability together in one place, creating a more efficient shopping experience while reducing the dependency on physical fitting rooms.
The prototype was built as a Nuxt application and connected to an Arduino based RFID system. We used MindAR to create the AR experience and connect the physical RFID interaction with the digital interface. This allowed the prototype to demonstrate how physical products and digital experiences could work together within a real retail environment.
