According to the signup page’s instructions, Amazon will be taking 3D scans, videos as well as photos of the program’s participants. These 3D scans will be taken in both fully clothed and swimwear. During the session, height and weight info will also be collected.

According to Amazon, these tests and the data gained through them will be sued for internal product research and will not be used by the e-commerce giant for marketing purposes.

Each session will be of 30 minutes time span and every participant will receive an Amazon’s 25 dollars gift card.

The 3D image will also be extrapolated for characteristics such as wrinkles and Body labs can also add in movements to their models for seeing as to how fabric move and fit on a person.

Before being purchased by the e-commerce giant, Body labs was working with many customized apparel.
