Honestly... To makes clothes and shoes remote shopping easier I'd like the option to get a 3D model of them I can load in a local software to check if it fit my body well, without both sending my biometrical data to someone else and for the shopper the need of such hyper-big computing power to check 3D models for every customer.

If you think that for a moment is feasible, creating a 3D scan of our body might not be cheap so far but also not so expensive, only a bit long eventually, the rest is very simple since all clothes producers do have models of what they produce and sharing just the modeled surface with minimum/maximum is not a commercial issue.

It's kinda already available with Zozofit.

But you can't accurately check a fit because clothes often have stretching material.

Sure, but just the ability to check a 3D model of a T shirt or a pair of shoes with a surface of the biggest and the smallest human body who can use them comfortably it would be very nice.

The problem is not much on the customers side but on the shop side: I see no shops so far who offer or advertise such option.
