MODERNIZED MANNEQUIN
The Modernized Mannequin is the next greatest innovation for fashion lovers. Online shopping being the first greatest invention, it also comes with lots of challenges. The return process can be a drag, ordering multiple of the same object in different sizes, and especially wanting something but not knowing how it would specifically fit you through a screen. With the Modernized Mannequin, shoppers can simply put on the virtual reality headset, send over the files of what you’re interested in, and see yourself come to life in your designed outfit. By sending in your body measurements before purchasing, the Modernized Mannequin will design an exact replica of your body to model your future closet. Even better, you can pick out your outfits ahead of time without even having to try anything on. By downloading your entire closet to the mannequin, time getting ready for mornings and events will be cut in half. This is also especially useful for artists, actors, and celebrities, to be able to try out a plethora of looks with little effort.
DREAM ROOM
Ever have a crazy dream that you wish you could rewatch in your head? Or come up with an insane idea in the middle of the night and forget it by morning? The Dream Room is a specially designed room that collects your dreams from that night and allows you to rewatch them in the morning. By wearing a headband that monitors your brainwaves and thoughts at night, a small, removable chip may be placed into the chip reader and downloaded for the room to adjust to recreate your dream. In addition to watching your dream, a guided meditation is created around it and what it means. A lot of times, our dreams reflect our lives, so this process allows for a deeper understanding of yourself and a reflective start to your day. Being 8 by 8 ft and all white screened walls, the room adapts to the energy you give off. Sitting on the only beanbag inside and allowing oneself to fully relax and become one with the space makes for a mesmerizing first 5 minutes of your morning.
