KinectShop offers a glimpse in to the future of shopping

A ten-fold increase in shopping efficiency ensures you’ll never miss kick-off again

Dan Grabham Dan Grabham

Ever since its release, Microsoft’s Kinect has been a veritable Swiss army knife for tech-tinkerers and unusual mods and the latest demonstration shows its possible future uses as a virtual shopping assistant. The software (developed by Razorfish), allows you to browse through virtual clothes and accessories before adorning yourself with the digital garments of your choosing. Incorrect sizes, dodgy zippers and changing room queues could all be destroyed in one merciful swoop, although no amount of virtual tweaking will ever manage to squeeze us back in to those dusty bell-bottoms.
