True to its name, i.Dummy Part II Leggs is an intelligent dummy that can change its size, shape, and proportion to mimic the human body. This ability to independently adjust various parts of the body enables the mannequin to simulate a wide range of body profiles, making it an ideal tool for fashion companies catering to diverse brands or nationalities.
The uniqueness of i.Dummy Part II Leggs lies in its ability to automatically change its size, shape, and proportion three-dimensionally via a computer-user interface. The mannequin can adjust according to pre-loaded size charts or customized dimension input, performing with an accuracy of 0.1 cm, far more precise than the industry standard of +/- 0.5 cm. It can change its sizes from the smallest (UK 6 or equivalent) to the largest (UK 16 or equivalent) in just 8 seconds.
The design and development of i.Dummy Part II Leggs is the result of four years of extensive research into the size and anthropometric profiles of various nationalities and their sizing systems. The successful prototype was unveiled to the media in March 2013 and exhibited at the Fashion Week, Spring Summer in July 2013 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Hong Kong.
One of the key challenges in creating i.Dummy Part II Leggs was to design a single entity that could accurately mimic the bodily profiles of a wide range of people. The solution also needed to allow for customization of minor measurements down to 0.1 cm, reflecting the physical changes of the human body profile over time.
Winswin's i.Dummy Part II Leggs has been recognized for its innovative design and technological advancement, winning the Golden A' Product Engineering and Technical Design Award in 2016. This prestigious award is granted to marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom, venerated products and bright ideas that advance art, science, design, and technology, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with their desirable characteristics.
With its unique properties and groundbreaking technology, Winswin's i.Dummy Part II Leggs is set to revolutionize the fashion industry, offering an innovative solution to garment fitting and design assessment. The future of fashion fitting is here, and it's robotic.
