A method for generating foot shape specification data includes obtaining foot shape 3D data (FS3D) by measuring the three-dimensional shape of a bare foot (BF) of a subject (P) of measurement; generating a virtual insole (VIS) for measurement based on the obtained foot shape 3D data (FS3D); generating corrected foot shape 3D data (CFSD) by adding the data of the virtual insole (VIS) to a sole portion of the obtained foot shape 3D data; and obtaining foot shape specification data (FSSD) by measuring a predefined dimension of the corrected foot shape 3D data (CFSD) to determine a foot shape.

A system of manufacturing equipment including molds for a direct injection production of footwear. The system includes a design facility that provides a design. A mold manufacturing facility manufactures a mold for the design for molding a sole of the footwear. A last manufacturing facility manufactures a last of the design. A footwear manufacturing facility manufactures footwear according to the design. The last corresponds to the footwear design and the mold corresponds to the footwear design. The mold is a basic direct injection mold and at least partly channels injection material to a mold cavity and further accommodates direct injection mold inserts. Mold descriptive data of the mold inserts is communicated to the footwear manufacturing facility to manufacture the mold inserts, or the mold inserts are manufactured at the mold manufacturing facility based on the mold descriptive data and transported to the footwear manufacturing facility.

Last descriptive data relating to said last corresponding to said footwear design is provided. The last descriptive data is communicated to the footwear manufacturing facility for manufacturing the last at the footwear manufacturing location or the last is manufactured at a last manufacturing facility, based on last descriptive data, and transported to the footwear manufacturing facility.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for generating orthotic device models using simulated patient anatomy. In one implementation, a method comprises receiving images of a body part of a patient; deriving physical measurements from the images; generating anatomy model data of the body part using the physical measurements; and generating orthotic model data based on the anatomy model data, the orthotic model data being representative of an orthotic device.

Systems and processes for measuring and sizing a foot are provided. In one exemplary process, at least one image of a foot and a horizontal reference object from a first point of view is captured. A portion of the foot may be disposed against a vertical reference object. The at least one image may be displayed, where one or more camera guides are overlaid on the at least one displayed image. In response to aligning the one or more camera guides with one or more of the horizontal reference object and the vertical reference object, a measurement of the foot based on the at least one captured image from the first point of view is determined.

Provided is a device for measuring at least one dimension of an object. The device includes at least one body configured to be arranged along, or around, the object. The, or each, body carries an elongate stretchable waveguide and is configured to allow stretching the waveguide along its length when arranged along, or around, the object. The, or each, waveguide is associated with a sensor. The, or each, sensor includes a light emitter arranged and operable to emit at least one light pulse through the associated waveguide, and a light detector arranged to receive the at least one light pulse conveyed through the waveguide. The device also includes a communication module communicatively coupled with the, or each, sensor, and configured to communicate measurement data from the, or each, sensor to a processor to allow determining the at least one dimension. Systems and methods for measuring at least one dimension of an object are also disclosed.

A system for capturing a plantar image is provided, which is based on a depth sensor or 3D image capturing device connected to a portable structure having: first legs; a first frame that holds a glass pane; and an elastic membrane on which a patient places his or her foot, making contact with the glass pane positioned there below, in the manner of a floor, to capture the plantar image by means of the depth sensor disposed beneath the glass pane. Respective platforms provided with a pair of second legs can be joined to the first frame. A system is provided that includes a transparent floor in a portable structure that allows the assembly to be transported so as to be able to capture the patient's plantar image in any desired place.

Systems and methods are disclosed for recommending products or services by receiving a three-dimensional (3D) model of one or more products; performing motion tracking and understanding an environment with points or planes and estimating light or color in the environment; and projecting the product in the environment.
