Leder und Schuh’s (project partners: Wincor Nixdorf, Online Software AG) Humanic Avatar makes buying shoes easier. All shoe models are scanned in all sizes before they are delivered to stores, and the shoe’s actual size is determined based on the interior volume and toe area. The Humanic Avatar is created by a single in-store scan of the customer’s feet. Once the customer has chosen a shoe model, the 3-D image of the foot is compared with the 3-D image of the shoe’s interior. This minimises bad shoe-to-foot matches when placing orders online as well as time-consuming fittings in the store.
