Get ready to buy clothes RFID Style

Filed in archive Implementation , Information About on July 24, 2008

Buying clothes at supermarkets can be a real difficult job since there is a lot to choose from among hundreds and thousands of clothing styles and accessories and in case you are a person like me (confused and impatient in terms of shopping) then you would like someone who could help you out.

Now people like me visiting department store Mitsukoshi in Japan can seek solace in RFID which can assist them with their shopping. Here they will be greeted by an Intelligent Fitting Room System when they enter the trial room and privacy advocates need not worry as it will definitely not spy on them rather it will help in deciding on the clothes which would suit them well. Also it would keep the sales people out of picture who may make you feel uncomfortable at times by their presence.

As soon as you enter the trial room you are greeted by a wall mounted touch screen where the RFID reader reads the tags attached to the clothing and offers you complete product information apart from matching accessories and alternative sizes. In case you have got a mismatch clothing item all you need to do is press a button and you get a store attendant on call that will get you the right set of clothing in your trial room itself (great help for those legs which even get tired by walking in stores and malls). Seems now my shopping experience would get better with RFID and I will start enjoying it too!!
