I am a cloth wholeseller, primarily Sarees a 6-9 meters unstitched printed cloth (an ethnic Indian wear for Indian women).

My customers are retailer, resellers and showroom owners from cities across India. Customers look at models in sarees and then choose which saree print they would like to order in bulk.

Each day photographs needs to be get it done from photographers of models wearing each sarees print as the saree print changes each day. This is a substantial cost in terms of labour and time.

Is there any computer enabled system I can integrate or install by which I show the saree to a capturing device say a “video camera” connected to a computer and this saree print is captured by the computer (possibly in a software) and then a model wearing that saree print is shown on a wide display output screen such as a large LCD computer or Video Wall. This way I will need to only input the different print of a saree each day and the model/ Mannequin is shown wearing different saree print on the video wall.

Thanks for your comments.
