On Me — see the clothes on your own body, not on a model

Every catalogue in the world shows you clothes on somebody who is not you, and leaves you to do the imagining. This page removes the imagining and then counts whether it made any difference to what you said.

You are shown eight pictures, one at a time. Four are the garments on a model and four are the same garments on you, in a shuffled order, never side by side — if you could see the comparison you would start answering it instead of the question.

Both pictures are made the same way, by the same renderer, from the same words. The only thing that changes between them is whose body is in the frame. That is the whole experiment.

It stops if it gets expensive. There is a €15 ceiling on generation enforced in code; past it the page serves the model half only and says so on its face, because a page that can spend money on every visit needs a number it cannot argue with.

It is held in memory for as long as it takes to make the pictures, and then it is gone. It is not written to disk, not put in a bucket, and there is nowhere in this experiment’s storage that could hold one. No account, no email, no newsletter.

The pictures made from it live for thirty days under a random link and then expire. The declaration is asked for because it is the only basis on which any of this is reasonable: it should be a photograph of you.
