The widespread availability of portable computing power and inexpensive digital cameras is opening up new possibilities for retailers. One example is in optical shops, where a number of systems exist that facilitate eyeglasses selection. These systems are now more necessary as the market is saturated with an increasingly complex array of lenses, frames, coatings, tints, photochromic and polarizing treatments, etc. Research challenges encompass Computer Vision, Multimedia and Human-Computer Interaction. Cost factors are also of importance for widespread product acceptance. This paper describes a low-cost system that allows the user to visualize different spectacle models in live video. The user can also move the spectacles to adjust its position on the face. Experiments show the potential of the system.
