The Virtual Caliper: Rapid Creation of Metrically Accurate Avatars from 3D Measurements.

Creating metrically accurate avatars is important for many applications such as virtual clothing try-on, ergonomics, medicine, immersive social media, telepresence, and gaming. Creating avatars that precisely represent a particular individual is challenging however, due to the need for expensive 3D scanners, privacy issues with photographs or videos, and difficulty in making accurate tailoring measurements. We overcome these challenges by creating "The Virtual Caliper", which uses VR game controllers to make simple measurements.
