Virtual Mannequin

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

This is an ABSOLUTELY superb example of image innovation that will find many uses in the retail sector, it’s definitely well worth taking a couple of minutes to look at it.
It’s described as a ‘Virtual Brand Ambassador’ and it was built using 3M Vikuiti technology BUT we think it’s much cooler (and more sensible) described [...]
