Size Stream Newsletter
Dear Friends,   

Advancements in 3D body scanning are at the forefront of this newsletter edition. We are previewing what's coming for Size Stream in 2016 here and at our exhibit at the International 3D Scanning Conference in Lugano, Switzerland October 27-28.  We hope to see you there this month -- and thank you for your continued support!

Size Stream  to Preview New Ground-breaking 3D Body Scanning Technologies

At the upcoming 6th International 3D Body Scanning Technologies 2015 Conference , Size Stream will be previewing new leading edge 3D body scanning technologies for the first time. 

The Size Stream public technology preview will include new products which address the full spectrum of body scanning needs from "scanning at home" with a body scanning-capable tablet application to new high end (but low cost) 3D retail booth body scanners in a record small footprint.  For more details on these new product developments see the dedicated articles on each technology in this newsletter.
New Size Stream Tablet-based 3D Body Scanning and Body Measurement

In a major expansion of its business focus area, Size Stream is announcing its capability in 3D body scanning and body measurement using mobile devices.

In order to address body measurement applications requiring ultra low cost and ultra-portability, Size Stream is pleased to announce its new Size Stream Tablet scanning application for 2016.  In the near future it will be common to have 3D sensors embedded in mobile devices like tablets and smartphones on platforms such as Google Tango, and Size Stream will be there with market-leading compatible applications. 

Market demand for low cost, portability, and even scanning at home, can now be satisfied with these new devices. The addition of 3D sensors along with traditional cameras enables a greater level of accuracy to meet broad market requirements such as size selection of clothing and body tracking for health and fitness. 

Size Stream has leveraged its expertise in full body scanning to create a compelling mobile application that addresses shortcomings with single sensor scanning devices currently available. Key unique features are:
-   Fast Scan Process (seconds not minutes)
-   Fast Scan Processing to measurements (< 1 minute    instead of 10-20 minutes)
-   Fully private, calculation occurs on the local device    (no sending your 3D or image data into the cloud!)      The Size Stream policy is you own the data, you
   possess it, you control it
-   Accuracy competitive with in-store tailor measures
-   No additional hardware required on supported
   tablets/phones (no external sensors to purchase, no    rotating platforms to stand on)
-   Small space requirement (no need for room for the    scan  subject to spin around)
-   Free App download for consumers and retailers!

Come see the world premier preview of the Size Stream app at the 3D body scanning conference in Lugano.
Size Stream Smaller Footprint 3D Scanner 

At the 3D body scanning conference, Size Stream will exhibit a new 3D body scanning booth prototype that will be the technology basis for its 2016 booth 3D scanner products.  The prototype will showcase groundbreaking features, including:
  - The smallest ever footprint for a full body booth
     scanner (less than 15 square feet)  - 1 meter wide 
     and in lengths of 1.3 and 1.4 meters - small
     enough for direct insertion into many retail
     changing room spaces.
  -   Super fast 3D scan acquisition - only a fraction of
     a second.
  -   More accurate 3D sensors, to support a 
+/- 3mm  circumference accuracy specification typical of  scanners costing several times more.
  -   Twenty sensors  to give total full body coverage,      Ideal for full body measurement and 3D printing
     applications at the same time.
  -  Higher resolution and higher quality color data.
  -  Static booth and "Changing Room Insertion" 
     configurations.
  -  Industry leading low cost.

Size Stream Basis for University Level 
3D Body Scanning Training at 
the University of Manchester

The University of Manchester (UK) plans to roll out Size Stream body scanner software instruction to its undergraduate students in early 2016. "Body scanning is fast becoming the new standard for measurement of populations and will increasingly influence the measurement and presentation of the human body through electronic interfaces and online retail platforms. By integrating teaching of this technology to undergraduates involved in product development units of the fashion programs, the University of Manchester hopes to recognize the benefits this technology and software offers, while gaining an awareness of how it differs from traditional methods used to capture the body in product development," states Dr. Simeon Gill, Lecturer in Fashion Technology Management in the School of Materials at the University.

Size Stream's body scanning software will allow the students to review scans and interact with them in a more meaningful manner when learning product development, but also to explore made-to-measure principles. The technology complements the University's Lectra software and integrates with 3D design capabilities enabling students to see themselves within the design process. "It is fundamental that opportunities offered through body scanning create a better understanding of variation within populations as well as how measurements derived from body scanning are defined and how they compare to manual methods used in product development. We hope that by gaining skills with body scanning software, our students will be encouraged to explore 3D product development through a range of 3D platforms as well as pushing the Size Stream software to better understand its capabilities and the promise it offers for centering the individual within product development processes," adds Dr. Gill.
            
What Size Stream Customers are Saying...
 
"The Size Stream Scanner has been a great addition to the ESPN Sport Science group. Being able to capture the athlete's body dimensions and body scan visuals with 3D body scanning is a compelling component of our athlete analysis. The Size Stream platform is very compact and easy to use - not complicated at all."

 Size Stream new San Francisco Demonstration Site

Size Stream is teaming with Clinton Park in San Francisco, CA  to further the development of a new generation of custom fit jeans using 3D body scanning. The company is excited to host a new Size Stream demonstration site. "I've known the guys at Size Stream for many years and it is great to be collaborating with them in the 3D body scanning arena. We've just added new space to our facility and the Size Stream scanner fits perfectly. Our staff were so excited they set it up the day after it arrived," states Steven Heard, Clinton Park owner.  The company is producing a line of men's jeans, workwear-inspired coats and accessories under its Clinton Park label.
