Texel Inc is a software developer and manufacturer of professional 3D scanners for obtaining 3D models of people and large objects. Texel solutions are used as 3D photo studios, virtual fitting rooms, and a number of other innovative areas. At the moment, the company decided to focus specifically on retail - the use of their own "virtual copies" by customers will allow them to more effectively select models and sizes of clothes, for example, when ordering online. And for clothing designers, this technology will help to create collections without the constant participation of models.

Technology
Texel uses the technology of structured light sensors. They project a light pattern and determine the 3D shape of an object by its distortion. This method allows you to get a better model, but the scanning process takes tens of seconds. The result can be presented in OBJ, VRML, PLY, STL and AVT formats.

Hardware
Personal fitness trainer based on an in-house 3d scanner. This product was postponed in favor of virtual try-on technology.

By 2014 was created a device that produces a 3D model of a person in a minute. The scanner consisted of a frame for moving four sensors, a control unit and a powerful computer. Scanner consists of a high frame that rotates around a person. It copies the parameters of the person's body, and creates a three-dimensional digital image on the basis of the scanned body. To do this, the device is equipped with a variety of sensors. The process of creating a digital copy takes about 1.5 minutes. Prototype scanner tested in December 2013.

The Texel Portal MX is a compact, full-color 3D scanner for scanning people. It looks spectacular, scans quickly and prepares a 3D digital model in just 90 seconds. It takes just 30 seconds for the Texel Portal MX to analyse the person standing on the platform. Within one minute the Portal MX uses data from the sensors to create a realistic 3D model, develops it in the cloud, and displays it on the screen.

Texel created one of the world's first scanning drones. For navigation, the drone uses machine vision and a special field with marks, with the help of which the drone determines its location in space.

Texel Virtual TryOn technology consists of visualization of a garment on a digital avatar of this user in the virtual fitting room, including optional change of his/her pose. Texel.Mirrors are used on digital and phygital fashion shows.

Software
Client software for 3D scanning. Texel AutoScan starts scanning and automatically creates cloud of points based on the data gathered from the scanner’s sensors. Texel Autoscan than creates a 3D model.
 * Texel AutoScan

Client software for basic processing of 3D scans. It allows you to look through the preliminary results, correct the colour and export 3D models in the formats PLY and STL for further processing in different programs including for 3D printing.
 * Texel Studio

Software that creates a parametric model of a person from a 3D scan and determines the measurements of the body. The data obtained can be used for the selection of clothing size, taking into account fit, or assess progress in fitness.
 * Texel BodyFit

Applications
The 3D body scanner creates a digital model of the body, which is used to determine the exact clothing size.

Texel’s technology scans capture and measure people in 3D, creating a digital avatar of the user. It then uses its technology to recommend clothes that will best fit the user’s shape and size. After three months of testing the Mix'N'Match technology in the second largest shopping mall in Europe, the average bill increased by 10%.

26-year-old Siberian rapper Husky used Texel’s equipment to make a 3D scan of himself. The company’s original algorithms ensured that the scan was extremely detailed and accurate, which helped the rapper’s team create a large statue of him – five meters tall, to be precise – which he took onstage during a concert in Moscow earlier this month. The giant Husky replica features the rapper in one of his standard poses, with a hand directed to the sky above. What was most interesting, however, is the fact that the statue was headless…and that at some point during the concert, Husky tossed the head out into the audience.
