Estimating the term…
A body suit resembles at least a partial human body form for use in design, customization, alteration, testing and modeling of garments. The suit includes a plurality of fluid-expandable layers, including an outer skin layer divided into an outer plurality of selectively expandable in varying degrees or quantities to create a variable exterior skin contour. One or more additional fluid-expandable layers underlie the outer skin layer to establish a variable internal tissue depth further contributing to an overall outer body contour of the body suit. An exterior of the body suit is colored or colorable in blue or green to enable chroma key isolation of garment adorned over the suit. Sensors are arrayed over the exterior surface area of the suit for dimensional and pressure measurements, and rotational support structures and cooperating 3D scanners and track-based scanner movement enable 3D imaging of the modeled garment.
A shape adjustable body comprising a body suit resembling at least a partial human body form and comprising an expandable/collapsible layer that comprises at least a first arrayed plurality of fluid-expandable cells, of which each individual cell among said first arrayed plurality of fluid-expandable cells is equipped with a respective electronically controllable control valve through which said individual cell is fillable to a same or varying degree relative to other individual cells in the first array, whereby fluid-based expansion of the individual cells of the first arrayed plurality of fluid-expandable cells to different degrees under electronic control of the respective electronically controllable control valves will impart a non-uniform outer profile to said array that contributes to or defines an outer body contour of the body suit.
A shape adjustable body comprising a body suit resembling at least a partial human body form and comprising a plurality of fluid-expandable cells arranged for selective fluid-driven expansion thereof in varying degrees or quantities to create a variable outer body contour of said body suit, wherein an exterior of the body suit is colored, or arranged for selective coloring, in green or blue for enabling application of chroma key compositing techniques to video or still images taken of said body suit at areas thereof uncovered by a garment donned on said body suit.
