The new generation of Imigize Service

Imigize announces the release of the second generation of a contactless shoe fitting service for online shopping.

On a test group of users, the new release of the algorithm showed high accuracy of recommendations, significantly exceeding the results of the previous generation of the algorithm.

An important innovation is that the new generation of the service is able to distinguish the materials from which the shoes are made, which allows us to show more correct recommendations.

This level of accuracy of the virtual fitting opens up great opportunities for the online sale of shoes and clothes.

For registered users, the service can significantly save time in the store, immediately recommending a suitable shoe size. The user can check the availability in the shoe store of the size he needs and go already for a guaranteed purchase.

For online purchases, the Imigize service offers the class more precise recommendations for the size and comfort of shoes (based on data on the internal 3D volume of shoes and 3D models of the user’s feet) than attempts to predict the appropriate size based on previous purchases of other brands.

Over 12 months of intensive work, the team has significantly improved the methods of measuring shoes and feet of users, significantly redesigned the architecture of the algorithm and AI (Artificial Intelligence) modules.

In addition to higher accuracy of recommendations, the speed of the algorithm increased 4 times.

So for a new user, the time after scanning feet using a scanner or mobile application (Beta version) before showing a recommendation for a suitable shoe size is less than 30 seconds.

For an already registered user with previously made feet scans, recommendations of a suitable size are displayed immediately in real time.

The second generation of the algorithm takes into account a wider list of comfort parameters, all types of shoes with laces and low-heeled shoes without laces, regardless of the materials of manufacture.

The Imigize branch in Shenzhen is a business development of Imigize project, in addition to the existing operational business in Eastern Europe.

Cooperation with Imigize Shenzhen will allow brands connecting the manufactured range of shoes (further clothing) to the contactless fitting service immediately after production.

The close location of the production enterprises of the clients and Imigize Shenzhen allows reducing logistics costs and connection time to the fitting service.

Thus, the new collections of fashion products will be available for virtual fitting even before the product gets on the shelves of stores and warehouses of online retailers.

Cooperation with Imigize will allow customers to significantly reduce returns of not fitting footwear and the resulting transportation expenditures, as well as increase the flow of online shoppers.

Digitized shoes in China will be available for contactless fitting service provided by Imigize for all members of the distribution networks of these brands and end customers around the world.

New calendar of events Imigize TGE

Dear investors and everyone who supports Imigize.

The Imigize project has come a long way, and we have achieved extremely positive results, both in business development and in working with investors.

We are working on the launch of the first Measurement Center in China and by early 2019 we will begin work with Chinese footwear manufacturers. This will allow us launching the Imigize service on the Chinese and US markets.

We are actively working with Russian top online retailers, constantly increasing the customer data base of the service.

Working with European footwear manufacturers and opening of a Measurement Center in Europe are in the process of negotiations.

We can see that the Public Sale does not bring significant financial results for the crypto projects of late so we shift focus to work with institutional investors.

We are creating a syndicate of funds interested in investing in the Imigize, and planning a big advertising campaign at events to promote the project in the crypto community.

Based on the latest results of activity, we prepare the calculations of the economy of the token and are ready to provide these documents to interested in cooperation funds.

As a guarantee for our investors we are launching the process of registering our token in accordance with SEC USA requirements.

In this regard, and with the approval of our advisers and current investors, we are reporting the postponement of the timing of the TGE Imigize.

Below is the new time line:

Private sale Round 1 10 September – 31 December 2018
Private sale Round 2 2 February – 3 April 2019

Are customers willing to share their 3D anthropometric data? If yes, under what conditions?

Modern technologies make possible creating high-precision 3D models, including precise reconstruction of the bodies in 3D.

The precise 3D reconstructions open good prospects for further industrial application of the data, for example in the automotive industry (comfortable seats), medicine (creation of prostheses), production of the goods for the sport.

Clothes and footwear industries are very interested in using personal anthropometric data. These are huge markets with an immense variety of goods. According to Statista statista.com the United States footwear market turnover by 2022 will be US$32,153B and the US clothes market is expected to amount US $363,73B.

However, collecting and storing users’ 3D anthropometric data contains a hidden complexity.

Update of the Whitepaper and the new concept of the Imigize token.

The work on blocking technology in the online sale of shoes and clothing has allowed us to take a fresh look at the function of the token and its purpose in the global ecosystem of Imigize.

The initial functionality of the Token Imigize (IMGZ) was limited to the function of a means of payment between the online store and the IMIGIZE service and was less of an interest to ordinary shopper of footwear and clothing using fitting service.

Having redesigned the concept of Imigize token (IMGZ), we endowed it with the function of stimulating the interaction of clothing and footwear manufacturers, online retailers and buyers. Now the token will be interesting not only to online shops, but also to ordinary buyers.

Token Imigize (IMGZ) is used by online stores as compensation to the shoppers for access to his personal anthropometric data and the comfort profile. The buyer, receiving Imigize tokens (IMGZ) applies them as a discount when buying clothes and shoes in any store connected to the service Imigize.

The buyer, having received tokens for creating and entering their anthropometric data into the blockchain (for example, by scanning their feet), can be guaranteed to exchange them through Imigize Service Blockchain for a cash discount for the next purchase. In addition, the buyer receives tokens, agreeing to receive a personal mailing from online stores in the form of recommendations for models of shoes and clothes, selected personally for him on the basis of the criteria of individual comfort.

More details about the updated concept of the token can be found in our whitepaper.
