Abstract
A mechanism is described for facilitating smart monitoring of body dimensions according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes receiving a first request to take a first picture of a user, wherein the first picture is taken at a first point in time using a depth-sensing camera; automatically computing first body dimensions relating to a body of the user based on at least one of a first image of the body and first depth information relating to one or more parts of the body, wherein the first image and the first depth information are obtained from the first picture; generate a first three-dimensional (3D) model of the body based on the first body dimensions; and communicating at least one of the first 3D model and the first body dimensions to a display device, wherein the display device to display at least one of the first 3D model and the first body dimensions.
Background
Conventional techniques involve physical measuring tapes for measuring human body dimensions. Such techniques require a user to manually measure dimensions of a human body using a measuring tape, which is time-consuming, cumbersome, inefficient, and prone to human errors.
