Private Custom, 3D Printing Sneakers Quietly Rising

Like "virtual reality", "3D printing" has been very hot in recent years. Both have a large number of fans, not only the technology giants Google, Microsoft, Nike, ADI and other clothing brands are also "pilgrims".

At the beginning of October, Adidas announced its 3D print running shoes' concept map and video of "Futurecraft 3D".

In the future, users only need to run a few steps on the treadmill in Adidas store. Adidas can quickly get the foot characteristics and data of runners, and then use 3D printing technology to create this running shoes.

When buying shoes, I believe you have experienced more or less: wearing 42 shoes is a little small, wearing 43 shoes is a little big, the size of shoes is right, but the front is too thin, some pinch...

But if 3D printing technology customize private running shoes become a reality, these troubles will be solved.

But restricted by 3D printing material, printing

It also faces many challenges such as comfort and durability.

It is reported that Adidas has reached a cooperation agreement with 3D printing company Materialise, but Adidas also did not disclose when the plan could be realized, the road may be far away.

Just imagine, you go to the mall to buy clothes and walk to the clothing store.

The store takes out a device equipped with a 3D camera. After scanning it, you can create a 3D model for you.

Then you can ask "it" to try your clothes on.

Now, this idea is almost realized.

Intel developed a real sense technology RealSense, and at the end of last year reached a cooperation with Jingdong, combined with Jingdong APP to give customers a virtual fitting experience.

RealSense technology is first introduced by Intel at the CES2014 exhibition. Its RealSense 3D camera can scan 3D objects and accurately recognize gesture movements, facial features, foreground and background, so that the device can understand human actions and emotions.

RealSense technology can be used to build a 3D model for customers and clothing respectively, so as to match all kinds of costumes for customers.

Standing in front of the display, customers can see the effect of the upper garment after being on the looker's side, so they do not need to enter the fitting room to try on clothes.

However, like the smart clothes selection system mentioned in the previous UNIQLO, such an experience is only a matter of staying on the vision. It is difficult to judge how comfortable the real clothes are.

The value of RealSense may lie in matching clothing that suits customers better.

"Try to change clothes for everyone again and again, pick out one or two items that you like, and customers try them again. This saves time and improves the operation efficiency of shopping malls.

According to scientific and technological media Engadget, Tinker Hatfield, Nike's creative vice president, will officially launch the "automatic shoelace" sneakers similar to "back to the future" film in 2016 and write to Michael J.Fox ("back to the future"), "although it comes from science fiction, we are proud to make it true."

But one thing is worrying. Is Nike just trying to complete this kind of fantasy in the science fiction movie, or taking into account the practical needs of some customers?

Nike also seems to have given some answers: the sneakers will be sold in an auction, and the proceeds will be used in the study of Michael Parkinson Fox (FOX himself is a Parkinson patient) in Parkinson's disease.

A set of waistcoat and insoles, which are being raised abroad, can be Thin Ice, which can make people sit still and lose weight.

Designers claim that as long as you wear it, you can burn 500 to 1000 calories per day, so that you can lose about 1 pounds in a week.

This type

It is possible to create a low temperature area to keep the body in a virtual cold state. In order to maintain body temperature, the body speeds up metabolism and burns more fat.

In addition, users can adjust their own temperature through the associated intelligent device APP. At present, Thin Ice has already supported iOS and Android systems.

However, Thin Ice, which can lose weight, may not bring a healthy lifestyle.

Although many technologies are not yet mature and have not been promoted in the market, the future development is not yet known, and the road to popularization is still very long.

But as long as we dare to think, everything is possible.
