In other words, the programme aims to turn them into future entrepreneurs, lock, stock and barrel. They are given the basic know-how for setting up a business and the opportunity to learn the ropes by running an innovative enterprise. Three of the students, Maggie Mai, Kevin Zheng, and Damon Xu, from the Department of Finance and Business Economics, developed the innovative ‘Smart Closet’ business concept. Their business concept is predicated on the integration of AI and 3D technology to create a clothes closet. ‘Our service users need not be physically present in clothing stores,’ says Mai. ‘They can make use of our smart system to try on garments of different types or styles in the comfort of their own homes.’ Inspiration from a Favourite Childhood Game Interestingly, this concept had its origin in Mai‘s favourite childhood game of playing ‘mix and match’. She explains that users of their system need only to put on a form-fitting garment and photograph themselves from different angles to build their own personal 3D model. They can also scan their personal garments at home. The AI system will automatically produce the perfect mix-and-match. No visit to the mall is necessary. Besides simulating user garment fittings, the AI technology will parlay their preferences into developing their own styles or fashion sense. What’s more, they can be improved incrementally over time. Confident the Service Will Be Cool with Customers Xu declares that he is confident that the service will find favour with customers. ‘Our plan involves signing a contract with our customers. In the first year, all fees are waived. In the second, our company will begin to extract a profit, and in the third, advertising revenues will be generated accordingly,’ he says. ‘This system is so smart that when users are trying on the mix-and-match, the AI system will suggest an appropriate recommendation, thereby addressing customer needs and boosting sales of merchandise at the same time. It is a win-win situation.’ 1.麥家瑩 Maggie Mai 2. 鄭漢文 Kevin Zheng 3. 許佳輝 Damon Xu 1 2 3
