Really smart that they used a card as a sizing gauge. Reminds me of geologists and their putting pennies in pictures as a reference.

That's what makes it better than the Warby Parker virtual try on. There you were missing the right scale for the glasses.

  Does Warby Parker have a virtual try on?
  - lbotos 12y ago
    Warby has an ocular distance measurement but I don't think it's a "virtual try on".
  - cschmidt 12y ago
    Yes, although it isn't very good. You just upload a photo, and they show you wearing the glasses. As I mentioned, the problem is scale. The glasses seem too big on my picture, since I must be larger than they think.

Cards have different sizes though. I think a one dollar bill might be better for this.
- DanitaBaires 12y ago
  I think it would be better if it's something international.

    Like it or not, a 1$ bill certainly is "something international" ;)

      No, not at all. I'd be hard pressed to get a hold of one where I lived in Sweden. Yes, I could go to the bank and get $20 or $100. I have a stack of standard sized cards in my pocket.

        Well you'd also be hard-pressed to get ahold of a can of Coke in North Korea but it's still "something international" ;)

      Internationality of bill comes from it's usefulness for savings. So 100$ is international, and 1$ is not

    Why not any of these types of objects, coins, notes, cards, a ruler? Most are easy to recognize.

  I think cards usually have the same size unless it's a business card.

    Most are 85.60 × 53.98 mm (ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_7810 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_7810 I guess they make you select the type of card you're using, which gives them the known standard dimensions. You could still trick the system into thinking you have a tiny head by using a tablet sized rectangular object.

Hmmm... Is there a website where I can buy reproductions of pennies in different sizes?
