Please tell students that a product development team from SelfieStyler will be on campus for two weeks in November offering $10 for 15 minutes of their time. Volunteers will participate in a study to improve the algorithm for SelfieStyler, a clothing app currently in development. Have you ever walked into a clothing store and wanted to try something on but weren’t sure what size to take to the dressing room? SelfieStyler hopes to reduce or even eliminate this confusion. Snap a photo of yourself and SelfieStyler will suggest what size to try on in a multitude of brands.

The development team needs participants who are willing to be hand-measured, be 3-D body-scanned, and have their photo taken. The personal information remains separate from the data, and SelfieStyler will use this information only for research purposes.

In order to complete a successful 3-D body scan, the white light technology requires participants to wear close-fitting undergarments in a color near their skin tone. For example, a Caucasian would wear light pink, cream, or light gray but not maroon, black, or navy. Hair must also be pulled off the neck area. Hair accessories will be available at the time of the scan.
