Mannequins

Mannequins – That Essential Touch

1800’s

• Mannequins have been an essential facet of marketing, they were even prevalent within the 1800’s.

• Dignitaries and aristocrats of the day often owned mannequins and used them to display their lavish evening wear

Modern Mannequins

• The modern mannequin has come some way from the retail space, so much so that they are even used to keep an eye on our shopping habits!

Digital Spy

• Mannequins have come so far from the 1800’s that they are now actually being implemented with facial recognition technology. Not only can they recognise a face, but they can determine age, sex, ethnic origin and observe behavioural patterns.

World of Distinction

• As technology advances, it will become increasingly more difficult for the average human being to tell the difference between mannequin and a human being. This is primarily down the advances in facial aesthetics including skin tones, and the ability to replicate facial features such as eyes.

Coming to Terms

• Anyway that we look at this, mannequins are here to stay, and they are going to play a pivotal role in the way in which we interact with the shopping environment.
