We finally had a team name: Suit Up! |

Research
So far, we conducted 3 interviews and ran a survey that has 70 returned results. If you’re interested in helping us get more results, please fill out the survey questions here!
We got some insight from the survey result. About 50% responded that they seek advise for dressing up when they need to dress up for a special occasion such as a wedding, while the other half need advise when they want to know if a specific item of clothing will look good on them. In terms of whether people keep track of clothes they think of buying, about 50% answered, “no” and 19 out of 59 people use their computer to keep track of them. All the other people will either bookmark the item, circle items in the clothes catalog or keep a written list. We explicitly asked if people would be comfortable uploading their outfit to share and got comments out of it. Only one third of people would be willing to do this. However, when we asked it if they can designate select users to share, the percentage increase to over half of the people.
We also made some visual representations of our results with some graphs.
Database Diagram
We had a preliminary database diagram that will help us to give our idea a little flesh and blood.
Plugin Prototype
We also built a simple Chrome plugin prototype to help us understand how it might work and what metadata should we collect so that it makes more sense to user while they’re using our system.
Next step
Our next step is to:
- figure out how our recommender system would work
- apply users’ feedback into our lo-fi prototype
