Brilliant!

Product comparison is a good point. Also, you need to find an easy way for the seller to do batch upload of a lot of items that were taken from the same position and resolution (so they have to measure only one image).

EDIT: Integration with common eCommerce systems would be awesome as well..

But the idea is great - and beautifully executed.

thank you! I've actually worked with an ecommerce site that sells beads and things and uses a flatbad scanner for most of their products. With that site I was able to skip the 'add' step altogether and calibrate images on the fly as they are first viewed. Unfortunately this is more the exception than the rule, and in most cases there's not enough consistency in etailers' images that I can always assume the same number of pixels per physical inch.

I'm definitely aware of the potential overhead of adding lifesizer images though, so I've developed a bookmarklet with which customers can calibrate images without leaving their own site. And we continue to look at other methods (ie outsourcing this work) to reduce the amount of integration work to near zero. Thanks for your input though, it's great to see that people see the value.

Did you look into eBay integration? There are a bunch of companies that offer store management and templates. It should be a great feature for them.
