Privacy is close to my heart too. It's just a balance between privacy as a need vs operation speed and intellectual property. To be decided.

Inference can be totally done client-side. Later measurement tuning would be much harder.

Great to hear that :D

Yes, sex is one of the inputs. But regional fat distribution isn't something we model or evaluate yet. But going to work on it.

Thanks, this matches what we're seeing. Trying to establish relationship with some brands, this is the problem we hit. The clothing batches can be very different from each other - cut-by-hand problem. So they don't have sewing patterns to drape and even if they have the final clothes can be different. Plus they don't want to share the patterns/technical details.

So on business side despite the clear benefits, for now we have hard time finding interested brands. Probably part of it is that we're very technical, technology-focused guys. But we're evaluating both paths: whether the mass-made item will fit, and tailoring for a specific person. Will see how it works out.

On the scanner side. The software approach beyond the less friction also have a benefit of predicting the future shape: "pregnant me in 2 months" or "me with 3kg less". Or simpler: my measurements changed since last month and I don't need to rescan. That's harder with hardware.

The previous response was exactly right. The estimated features are impacting height, so the height can't be set then do the rest. It also cannot be tuned afterwards because it would change the mass. So vicious circle.

Not yet, but it's the first thing to add this week.

Yeah, the demo wasn't prepared for such peak. Normally it's <2s after warm-up. Like the precomputation idea, but for now it changes too dynamically to precompute each time.

Exactly, thanks! I'm not English-native, and while most was wrote by hand, some AI assistance makes it more understandable/better readable.

Actually not this time. Wrote it by myself, but I'm not native speaker and engineer not writer so then used for review and reframing couple sentences.

Really glad it helped! Thanks!

I do believe that thanks to Anny and Sam3D it will get better, cheaper and more accessible than in tools like CLO3D. Extrapolating body from a few inputs is going to be my next one so hope you will like it too.
