How much space do I need to use ShapeScale? What are the requirements to use ShapeScale?
To use ShapeScale, you need the following:
- A space of 3.5 feet by 1.75 feet around the device for the scanning area. You can mark this area with a mat or tape for convenience.
- A well-lit room with no direct sunlight on or near the device during the scan. Sunlight can interfere with the device’s sensors and affect the accuracy of the scan.
- A regular power outlet for the device’s power supply. The device has a retractable cord that can be plugged into any standard outlet.
- No mirrors directly in front or next to the device within a few feet. Mirrors can reflect the device’s light and cause errors in the scan.
- Solid ground for the best experience. The device also comes with carpet feet that can be attached if needed.
- To ensure accurate measurements, we also recommend users to scan in tight-fitted clothing, such as compression garments, tight-fitted boxer shorts, yoga pants/leggings, and sports bras. Loose or bulky clothing can affect the shape and composition of the body and result in inaccurate readings.
