You want to buy clothes in a shop or online and have troubles finding clothes that perfectly fit. A device called Intellifit tries to revolutionize shopping by measuring your body and suggesting those clothes from selected brands that fit the best. This is done by scanning the body once for about 10 seconds using radio waves that make it possible to get an accurate body measure with hundreds of measure points of which many or used in the clothing industry today.

The data is stored on a card that can be used to shop using special terminals that let you choose a brand and a type and presents you with the best fitting choices that fit your body. The system can also be used to create custom clothing which is a nice feature. I have some concern though about the limited amount of brands that are available currently to choose your clothes from. Intellifit currently looks like an exclusive club for some brands including Levis, Dockers and Gap. Many brands are missing which does not feel right so to speak. Still, if you only wear Levis jeans for instance it might be a great system.

Take a look at the video to get a better impression of what it is all about:
