Custom designer by Shinsegae

Wanna design your own t-shirt in 3-D? Go to Shinsegae! This week in Shisegae Dept. Store customers can get 3-D computer models of themselves and try out their new look in 3-D. After being measured by a 3-D scanner, customer will be able to customize the shirt they want to buy, choosing colors, collars and cuffs, as well as other details.
Although other brands have offered similar design-it-yourself package using avatars, this is the first in which the avatar is a 3-D model of the customer, the store said. The pilot service, available for free in the Event Hall on the sixth floor, will be limited to shirts, but the store hopes to branch out into more items in the future.
Shinsegae, literally means 'New World', was originally part of Samsung Group and separated in 1990s. The main store in Jung-gu, Seoul is the oldest department store in Korea, opened in 1930 as a branch of Mitsukoshi Department Store of Japan. The Shinsegae also owns the biggest shopping complex in the world Shinsegae Centum City in Busan (registered in the Guinness Book of World Records)
