While people can grasp the overall impression of their clothes through conventional mannequins, it is hard to know how they look like when they move in that clothes, and whether they are comfortable when they move in that suit. We wanted to show how clothes can be changed and used by creating mannequins that recognize and imitate the behavior of users. Therefore, we produced various types of mannequins to cover a range of users, ranging from men to women and children.
