Abstract
3D scans are considered to be potentially useful visual analysis tool, but there have been few studies regarding the validity of 3D scans as a tool for visual analysis. We investigated this by comparing results from fit analyses using live models with those using 3D scans of the same models. Professionals from the apparel industry provided feedback on the process of 3D scan fit analyses and suggested ways to improve the process. Results from different areas of the body showed different levels of reliability. In the bust area, misfit and estimates on alteration amounts were the most reliable, while the waist area showed the least consistency in fit interpretation overall. The hip area was not reliable for identification of misfit, but was relatively reliable for estimates of alteration amounts. This study suggested how future studies could improve the process in terms of data organization, display and the navigation interface.
