Do not be shy now: which of you doesn’t love raiding your mother’s closet and trying on her paisley dresses and velour tracksuits? That’s roughly the postulate behind Virtual Dressing Room, a Kinect hack that taps into the clandestine thrill of sneaking into other people’s boudoirs. Unlike some other shopping hacks we have seen, the app goes beyond just pilling on 2D pieces, but uses 3D models in order that the items mold in your limbs, with the shadows and creases inside the virtual fabric changing as you preen for the camera. That every one comes courtesy of a different physics engine, while the app itself was written in C# at the side of Microsoft’s XNA tools. Arbuzz, the crowd that dreamed this up, says the project’s still a piece in progress, though we are able to see this, too, getting used to alleviate those of who’re allergic to shopping malls. Until then, you’ll just need to accept watching every other guy work a knee-length skirt.
