System for generating virtual clothing experiences

Abstract

A system for generating a virtual clothing experience has a display for mounting with a wall, one or more digital cameras for capturing first images of the person standing in front of the display, an image processing module for synthesizing the first images and for generating a display image on the display that substantially appears, to the person, like a reflection of the person in a mirror positioned at the display. The cameras capture second images of a garment with the person; the module synthesizes the second images with the first images to generate the image that substantially appears, to the person, that the reflection wears the garment. A home version of the system may be formed with a home computer and a database storing garment images in cooperation with a manufacturer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . Virtual clothing experience system, comprising:
 a human sized electronic display;   a plurality of cameras for capturing digital frames of a person in front of the electronic display; and   computer processor for processing the digital frames with at least one garment image to generate a real-time electronic image on the display that appears, to the person, like a reflection of the person from a mirror positioned at the display and wearing the garment.
