Size Machine: Are you for or against a booth that calculates your measurements?

Mango jeans, H & M pants and a Zara skirt. Three pieces, three different sizes. It is a commonplace fact that ready-to-wear brands have a bad habit of not pruning in the same way.

What to tear your hair in stores, especially during the sales period, where you do not really want to wait 30 minutes before the dressing room to try a simple jeans.

To remedy the puzzle of the approximate sizes, the "Size Machine" has appeared in several shopping centers in the Paris region.

A body scanner to escape the hell of the fitting room

The principle is simple: the cabin scans the human body and, in just 30 seconds, it generates a 3D model of the silhouette by delivering morphological information. Practical, its data sheet indicates the corresponding size according to the store of your choice.

Because size does not stop, Size Machine also delivers clothing advice according to its morphology in A, H, V, O, X ... to wonder whether the machine will not take the voice of Cristina Cordula to deliver her precious advices.

Soon the arrival of the Size Machine in the French shopping centers?

While the cabin only made a brief appearance for the sales period, it is not impossible that it will invade French shopping centers within a few years (in the United States, it is already commonplace).


But would it meet the expected success? It is impossible not to underline his ingenuity without speaking of the indiscretion of the thing.


Imagine a little robotic voice announcing your waist circumference in front of your best friend, who will throw you a look full of impersonations while discovering that the shot of the regime was bluff. And do we really want a machine to remind us of these gargantuan Christmas meals where you did not take three parts of logs, but four? Not sure that the Size Machine is only happy.
