of marketing, they were even prevalent
within the 1800’s.
• Dignitaries and aristocrats of the day often
owned mannequins and used them to
display their lavish evening wear
3. Modern Mannequins
• The modern mannequin has come some
way from the retail space, so much so that
they are even used to keep an eye on our
shopping habits!
4. Digital Spy
• Mannequins have come so far from the
1800’s that they are now actually being
implemented with facial recognition
technology. Not only can they recognise a
face, but they can determine age, sex,
ethnic origin and observe behavioural
patterns.
5. World of Distinction
• As technology advances, it will become
increasingly more difficult for the average
human being to tell the difference between
mannequin and a human being. This is
primarily down the advances in facial
aesthetics including skin tones, and the
ability to replicate facial features such as
eyes.

play a pivotal role in the way in which we
interact with the shopping environment.
